Welcome to the Professional Rabbit Meat Association (PRMA).  

Our purpose is for providing professional guidance, information, advice and the exchanging of ideas on the rabbit meat industry for the serious growers, processors, brokers, buyers and other factors involved in the rabbit meat industry.  We are extremely pleased to have many of the top names and authorities in the rabbit meat industry as officers, members of the Board of Directors, and as participating members. 

In no way is this to be a REGULATORY group by attempting to submit legislation or laws governing the raising, breeding, or processing of rabbit meat, although we will actively participate in any proposed legislation that may have negative effects on the rabbit meat industry. The emphasis, here, is strictly in the provision of PROFESSIONAL information and guidance.... FROM the professionals, themselves, for the ultimate goal of supporting, promoting and improving the professional rabbit meat industry as a whole, and for better communication between the growers, processors, brokers and buyers by the sharing of ideas and valuable experience. Naturally, for the protection of our individual businesses, the right to withhold information regarding specific "trade secrets" is to be honored at all times. 

We invite all persons interested in the professional rabbit meat industry to join us, whether you are new to the industry, or a seasoned and experienced rabbit meat producer, processor, broker or buyer. 

Benefits derived by joining the PRMA are: 

A bi-monthly newsletter with the most current news affecting the rabbit meat industry and including articles submitted by members, regular columns, a "Processors' Report" listing participating processors and buyers with current prices paid and supply/demand information (updated every two months), and much more.  Available in our Members' Only section on our web site, or by hard copy, or both.  We invite you to read our public Complimentary Issue on this web site to see for yourself!
