New Zealand is the dominant global exporter of farmed venison, followed by Australia and Canada. These countries supply the majority of commercially imported deer meat entering the United States.
Wild-harvested deer meat faces significant regulatory barriers for US import, as USDA FSIS requires that exporting establishments operate under a government-inspected system equivalent to US standards, which is difficult to establish for wild harvest operations.
