Florida Alligator Processing
Plant City market selling alligator meat and leather goods sourced through Florida's regulated harvest program.
About
Florida Alligator Processing in Plant City supplies alligator meat and leather products, including shoes, handbags, and belts. The business sources from Florida's statewide alligator harvest, a program recognized as a model since 1988. American alligators were removed from the endangered species list in 1987, and Florida now maintains over 1 million in its lakes, rivers, swamps, and marshes. Some alligators come from farms with breeding stock; others are collected as eggs from the wild under permit. The meat is mild-flavored and works as a substitute in recipes calling for chicken, veal, or fish. Florida's Department of Agriculture oversees the program with strict monitoring to prevent poaching, funded by licensing fees from farmers, hunters, and trappers.
