Introduction:

Many sources of information rank Sudan as number one of the African as well as

the Arabian countries regarding animal resources

Livestock represents the largest subsector of the Sudanese domestic economy and is

a growing contributor to exports. The growth of the Middle East markets mean good

potential for Sudanese livestock exports. Though Sudan has a transport cost

advantage to the Gulf markets, the latter are open to world competition for quality,

price, packaging, market promotion and sanitary/ phytosanitory considerations.

Beyond cost, two factors determine Sudanese competitiveness in the Gulf markets:

(i) better meat technology, which allowed Sudan to compete in the fresh and frozen

meat; and (ii) continued strict adherence to the agreed animal health regimen.

This proposed project envisages the establishment of a facility in Khartoum state

for Sheep and cattle fattening and meat processing for export market

Location:

River Nile State.

Project Objectives:

1. Production of safe and healthy meat free from contaminants and diseases.

2. Maintaining public health and environmental health by applying HACCP

compliant health requirements and ISO standard.

(ISO 2000) and Food Safety Management System (FSMS))

3. Treatment Of by-product from the slaughter animal so as to benefit from it.

4. Achieving national food security and economic growth.

Justification for the project:

1. The existence and availability of large numbers of food animals throughout the

year in selected areas.

2. Having an internal and external market to receive the products of the project.

3. Availability of land, water, energy, roads, auxiliary services and trained

manpower.4. Meat export infrastructure remains weak, especially slaughterhouses and cooling

warehouses.

5. Increasing consumption of meat in neighboring countries, especially the Gulf and

the Middle East, which led to increased demand for Sudanese meat because of its

comparative advantages?

6. Increasing the withdrawals of livestock will reduce the pressure on pasture and

water resources and reduce overgrazing and thus improve the environment.

7. Creating a slaughterhouse opens the way for many small industries thus increasing

employment opportunities

8. The establishment of a slaughterhouse also provides a measure of meat and waste

for local consumption at low cost 8. The establishment of a slaughterhouse also
