Revitalizing the Meat Industry in Mombasa
An abattoir produces hygienic meat through humane handling, but annual consumption is estimated at 14,280,000 metric tons. The Kenya Meat Commission (KMC) facility is underutilized, with over 4,000 livestock kept in residential areas, compromising animal health, welfare, and public health standards. Illegal slaughter and uninspected meat supply are prevalent.
Mombasa County is identified as a value additional center for agricultural produce, including meat processing and hides and skin.
