Burgers made from Zimbabwe crocodile meat are selling like hot cakes at the country's pavilion at the Milan Expo in Italy with about 1,000 crocodile burger sold a day.
According to media reports, a crocodile burger is sold for €15.
The fast selling rate of the crocodile burgers has forced authorities to order more meat as supplies runs short.
"We are so happy that we have been getting maximum cooperation from the ministry of health," the ambassador said.
Initially, Zimbabwe imported a ton of the meat, but Magwenzi said he would be requesting an additional two to three tons to be imported to meet high demand.
"It has been phenomenal. In fact, crocodile meat is better than chicken, better than pork. It has less cholesterol."
