Project aims to help reverse decline in meat supply chain across the EU

A PROJECT to help the local meat supply chain in the European Union to survive and thrive will be launched in Newmarket, Co Cork, later today.

The two-year e-learning training project will help small abattoirs, butchers and meat processors across the EU to add value to their products and services in an increasingly competitive market.

Rural development company IRD Duhallow is the project leader with partners in Ireland, Spain, Finland and Denmark.
