Not many people eat mutton in Fujian.

Fujian is located near the sea and has a humid climate, which is suitable for planting crops such as fruits and vegetables, but not for raising sheep. Therefore, the production of mutton in Fujian is relatively low and the price is relatively high, which leads to a low proportion of Fujian people eating mutton. Moreover, the food culture in Fujian is mainly seafood and Fujian cuisine, and mutton is not one of the main ingredients.

Although the proportion of Fujian people eating mutton is not high, with the improvement of people's living standards and the diversification of eating habits, the consumption market of mutton in Fujian has also developed to some extent.
