Alpacas - The Investment

15 years ago, alpacas were only found in South America and mainly in Peru (1.9 million). Despite import controls, strict quarantine regulations, a slow breeding rate (one cria per year) and no artificial insemination program, alpacas are now firmly established in Australia, New Zealand, North America and England and emerging herds are now to be found in Germany, Israel, France and Japan.

Alpacas offer a strong return on investment while providing the owner with so much joy and satisfaction. Alpacas are in great demand all around the world and the demand has never been greater.

So why is the alpaca referred to as “the world’s finest livestock investment’?
