Question
Will the Minister consider making grant funding available to abattoirs in need of financial support to invest in expanding their operations?
Answer
Answered by Minister for Rural Affairs and North Wales, and Trefnydd
The Welsh Government remains committed to working with abattoir operators and we are currently supporting small and medium sized abattoirs through our Food Business Investment Scheme (FBIS) to support business expansion and install and upgrade CCTV systems. Abattoirs are eligible to apply for future windows of the FBIS programme in addition to other Welsh Government support schemes.
