SLAUGHTER-LAND PROFILE
As the name literary implies we get to
convert the live chickens into meat and other value added products.
Born out of the need to control the quality
of finished products in the group’s production chain we strive to be the
largest of such operations in the country within the next two years.
In the last 6 months we have seen our
slaughter capacity rise from zero to a steady 8000birds per day which we hope
to double in just 1 month’s time once our new cold storage capacity of 250 tons
is commissioned.
We employ 80 people to run the semi
automatic processing plant situated at the corner of Mutoko and Shamva roads on
the outskirts of Harare. Our operations include the coordination of Catching,
Transportation, Receiving and Weighing, Killing, Evisceration, Chilling,
Grading, Portioning, Packing and Freezing.
Our product range is currently Packed
Frozen Whole Birds, Fresh Whole Birds, Fresh Individual Portions, Frozen Mixed
Portions, Frozen Individual Portions, Fresh Offals, Frozen Offals and Pet
foods.
We hope to extend this to Further Processed
products i.e. Sausages, polony, burgers
and mechanically extracted meat soon.
Our vision is a noble 100 000 birds
slaughtered daily by end of 2013.
We have just finalized the plan for the
next abattoir which will have a kill capacity of 2000 birds per hour. This
means 32000 birds per day in two shifts. This will translate to 48000 birds per
day altogether in our two plants. Half of the vision’s target will be done
before end of the year.
But after all is said and done our biggest
pride is the fact that our product is 100% TRULY ZIMBABWEAN.
