The state-of-the-art $600 million abattoir at Onverwagt, West Coast Berbice, Region Five has been completed, thereby modernising Guyana’s meat processing capabilities and bringing them up to international standards.
It is also expected to unlock new markets for Guyana’s beef, a release from the Department of Public Information (DPI) said yesterday.
Minister of Agriculture Zulfikar Mustapha made the disclosure during a recent event. The project was funded by the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB).
