Exploring breeding Emu in the Pacific Islands any suggestions or advice please

I'm exploring breeding red meat animals for a home and income on my 4 acres with partly volcanic rock in my slightly sloping paddocks currently housing cows. Any suggestions of breeding in this environment with weather extremes varying in average from 20 winter -30* summer it can also be foggy and a rain forest type environment, so hot and damp with sudden monsoon rain and hurricanes every few years or so. I'm also concerned about safety as I heard the Emu's can scratch straight through skin and I wanted a family farm. I was hoping for a low fat meat option as well as small hobby start up farm for income. I haven't looked into quarantine yet. I'll consider other animals such as goats as well. I have no experience. Many thanks or your help.

I knew someone who bred them in the UK along with ostrich , the good news was that he found a steady market for the eggs and meat even just whole egg shells ,the bad news was they they are incredibly stupid they make sheep look like degree students and they only specialty was killing themselves plus they are vicious will peck anything and anyone and have a kick like a mule with out the latters good nature .
Have you thought about water buffalo ? Smaller leaner than cows the meat has a good market in the east plus they have a reputation of being easy going and gentle .

Funny, I was just talking about water buffalo. We only have a few acres and can't imagine the cost of sending buffalo over to the Islands in comparison to smaller herds and already have cattle which we need to thin out as grazing and space is an issue. Oh that sounds crazy-scary! well, I suppose we could use them as "watch Emu's" the locals are pretty dodgy in these parts, I heard the Emu run fast and attack swiftly might be just what I need. Feeding time must be like Jurasic Park. I heard they can break out of metal fencing too! Not sure how I'll catch them if they do. Hmm, Really need to speak with a breeder. Thanks for your help!

How remote are you exactly ? Phillipinees certainly has plenty of buffalo . Talk to the fishermen
Maybe there are other animals that could add value geese ? Pigs? Giant tortoise Horse is popular here in France but that's a cultural thing , Deer ?
