Kalibo Meat Plant due for rehabilitation
THE Philippine Slaughterhouse Management and Operation, Inc. (PSMO) and the Municipality of Kalibo are set to rehabilitate and renovate the Kalibo Meat Plant with the aim of having the facility attain double “AA” accreditation, which would ensure access to clean and secure products. “The project, which was undertaken as a joint venture under a public-private partnership scheme, uses the PPP Code of Aklan, as adopted by the Municipal Government of Kalibo and approved by its local Sanggunian, as its legal framework,” the company said in a statement. The rehabilitation of the meat plant is expected to be completed within 12 months. PSMO is also tasked to improve the slaughterhouse. “The rehabilitation of the meat plant will also allow higher daily production capacity of the slaughterhouse,” it said. — Vincent Mariel P. Galang
