Meatco halts abattoir operations

Meatco will no longer operate and manage the two government-owned abattoirs in the Northern Communal Area (NCA) after accumulating immense losses for several years.
As a result of these operational challenges, Meatco has said it will not renew its contracts with the government to operate the Oshakati and Katima Mulilo abattoirs. The company will instead make use of mobile slaughter units within the NCA.
The Oshakati and Katima Mulilo abattoirs have been managed and operated by Meatco since 1991, but over the years huge losses were incurred.
