The Department of Agriculture and Rural Development will coordinate with relevant units to strictly inspect and handle to ensure the cessation of manual slaughtering activities at existing livestock slaughterhouses after April 1st.
This information was announced by Mr. Dinh Minh Hiep – Director of the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (DARD) at a press conference on the socio-economic situation in Ho Chi Minh City on the afternoon of March 30th.
He said that the People’s Committees of districts, towns, and Thu Duc City are working with owners of manual livestock slaughterhouses to shift to industrial slaughterhouses within the city.
Earlier, An Ha Services Company sent a request regarding the fact that although they had invested in an industrial livestock slaughterhouse, the number of traders who registered to shift to industrial slaughter was still low, and there was still the issue of manually slaughtered pigs returning to the city for consumption.
