\textbf{Abstract}
\begin{abstract}
\normalsize{
Camels have for over decades played a paramount role in Regional Development, from Asia, North Africa and East Africa respectively. This is well documented in various studies that were conducted in the above regions, although most of them focused on nutrition patterns, the current evidence shows that camels are an important livestock in the livelihood of many of the rural and urban herds' men. These camels in their various breeds (the one"=humped dromedary camels /Camelus dromedarius and the two"=humped camels/Camelus bactrianus) are the leading producers of milk and meat in the various regions throughout the year since they are adaptive to the arid climate of the regions.



 



The paper analyses the trend of camel production, the focus is current status of the major products of milk, and meat and how they have impacted on the lives of many. Time series data for the analysis were obtained from reliable sources such as the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations (FAO) and information from trusted sources such as Science Direct. Graphs and pie charts were used to analyse the data on milk and meat production, camel herd's distribution in the various regions of Asia, North Africa and East Africa respectively with a focus on Africa and East Africa in Particular.







The paper concludes that, ceteris paribus, camel production is increasing over the years and is of great deal to the welfare of people in the respective regions since they are leading in milk and meat production and whose milk is rich in protein, fat and nutritious to children especially those allergic to cow milk in the respective regions as well as a strategy to fight hunger and malnutrition in the region.



Therefore, as a matter of urgency, the Regional and National governments need to support camel farmers, build their capacity to fight against challenge of diseases that kill the calves of camels so easily, breeding, forages as well as information sharing on best practices.
