Iceland's horse meat sales on the rise

Horse meat sales have increased 36.8% since 2007.

"Of the 24,865 tons of meat sold in 2012, poultry accounted for 7,800 tons, a year-over-year increase of 10.7 percent. Lamb made up 6,659 tons, an increase of 11.5 percent. Pork was the third highest-selling meat with sales of 5,612 tons, a decrease of 4.1 percent, followed by beef with 4,110 tons, an increase of 6.6 percent, and horse meat with 682 tons."

This, coupled with the pick up that the fishing industry has had, should help better their economy after the plummet they took in the recent stock market crash.
