Maskina provided new data on lamb consumption among Icelanders a new survey for 'Icelandic lamb', a marketing project launched by the marketing council for Icelandic lamb in Iceland, as Iceland Monitor reports.

Furthermore, according to the survey, most of the Icelanders who consumed lamb declared that they were content with the quality of the Icelandic lamb.

Iceland Monitor says that although the poultry sales reported the biggest increase in popularity, in recent years, lamb has increased its popularity among the Icelandic population.

In August 2017, Icelanders consumed 723 tons of lamb meat, an increase in consumption of 48% compared to August 2016, while lamb meat exports reached 225 tons, up by 131% compared to the corresponding period from 2016, as reported by mbl.is.
