Phnom Penh plans to centralise slaughterhouses

Phnom Penh City Governor Pa Socheatvong yesterday announced a push to count the capital’s abattoirs with the goal of consolidating the slaughter of livestock in a single location to better regulate health and safety.

“We will only have one slaughterhouse, because the current slaughterhouses are very disorganised,” Socheatvong said in a statement on the National Police website.

The statement said the new deputy head of the city’s agriculture department, Tem Savuth, had been appointed to oversee the operation. Currently, livestock are slaughtered at various locations throughout the city.
