On March 6, the Rupununi Livestock Producers Association (RLPA) commissioned the Nappi Slaughter Facility, and visited the area’s Lincoln International Trading store, which features a branded freezer promoting locally grown poultry meat.
The slaughter facility joins two others in Region Nine that are all equipped to meet hygienic and ethical standards: from stunning to plucking and packaging; and a solar-powered freezer for storage.

With five freezers placed across the region, the RLPA stated on its social media page that it is creating more opportunities for local producers to sell high-quality poultry meat, while raising industry standards.
The association expressed it gratitude to the Greater Guyana Initiative (GGI) for supporting the activity.
