It is the government’s vision to upgrade the Public Abattoir from the present ‘average’ establishment to become a trend setter in the local meat industry, shedding the present image of poor quality and hygiene, and thereby becoming a showcase for quality in Maltese products.

It is Government’s goal to invest in the facility’s premises, equipment as well as (through training, proper procedures, monitoring and enforcement) human resources and quality control. Through such investment, the facility shall be transformed into a showcase where third parties can, through site and/or study visits) gain knowledge about the meat processing industry, hygiene standards etc.

This would also enhance the value added of Maltese meat products giving the consumers the opportunity of experiencing high quality standards, increasing the consumption of local meats as compared to the imported product.
