Meat Sector Study washed away by the nearby river. The condition of the existing premises is poor so that most likely just new Greenfield investments in slaughterhouses will improve the situation. In contrast to the slaughterhouse sector the Albanian top meat processing companies like EHW, KMY, TONA and others are doing fine. The 10 biggest processing companies cover around 80 % of the market share, are financially strong and consider further investments with and without upcoming IPARD-support. Considering the whole meat sector under IPARD support schemes, there is definitely a need for financial support. In livestock farming the best potential is still within cattle and small ruminants as these livestock farms could make use of the natural advantages (i.e. pastures) which Albania has available. Less needs for financial support is required in the pig production and almost none in chicken farming. Also the processing sector has different stakeholders. Slaughterhouses will be needed in the future and as refurbishment is too expensive new slaughterhouses will have to be build. There is enough private interest in case that the competent authorities will start channelling all animals through slaughterhouses within the next months. Nevertheless IPARD funding will be needed. For the meat processing companies the authors see fewer necessities to support as the big players are doing fine and have a quite high level of standards already fulfilled. They are keen to export and need urgently improvements in the veterinary and food inspection system. Finally it has to be stressed out that Albania has no rendering plant and therefore all waste material from farms to slaughterhouses and meat processors are dumped into landfills. It is highly recommended to encourage the establishment of such a plant; this could be done also by the private sector especially of IPARD funding will be available and the NFA enforce relevant laws. Having covered the production side the study had also a look on the governmental stakeholders such as MAFCP, ATTC, NFA and others. These governmental bodies will need specific capacity building programmes to better understand the commercial side of the meat sector, IPRAD requirements regarding farmers and processors and their upcoming investment proposals and many more. For this meat sector study official data from MAFCP have been used wherever possible. Taking in consideration the overall situation in the sector and the results of the SWOT - analyses future interventions in the sector should be oriented mainly to: • Improve entity structure in production and processing and increase the competitiveness of the sector; • Increase overall competitiveness through investments for application of modern production techniques and technologies; • Improve status of attainment of national and EU standards on occupational health and safety, environmental issues, food and feed safety, animal health, animal welfare and more; these standards are closely related with the EU accession requirements; • Improve vocational training; • Improve performance and offer of service providers. Investment in Agricultural Holdings The following investments should be supported under IPARD: • Construction/extension/modernisation of animal shelters; • Construction and/or renovation of storage buildings and machine sheds; Meat Sector Study, page 9
Meat Sector Study • Silage handling equipment and machinery, on-farm animal feed preparation, handling, distribution systems and storage; • Automatic feeding & drinking equipment, watering, heating and ventilation, automating environmental control systems including energy-saving equipments authorised and defined under Directive 2007/43/EC; • Investments for manure handling, storage and treatment facilities; • Animal handling equipment and facilities (e.g. weighing, disinfection); • Transportation equipment compatible with Community animal welfare standards; • Watering systems; • Fences and gates; • Special equipment for weighing, health control; • Biogas facilities; • Purchase of specialized technological equipment including IT and software (herd management, animal registry, general farm management). The ranking of investment priorities according to the different types of animals should be as follows: sheep – cattle – goats – pigs – poultry. Investment in Processing and Marketing of the Agricultural Products The following investments should be supported under IPARD: • Construction or renovation of slaughterhouses; • Renovation of meat processing enterprises; • Equipment for improvement of hygiene and product quality, in full compliance with Community standards; • Investments for establishment of food safety systems (HACCP, GMP and GHP) including laboratories and equipment to improve the control of the product quality and hygiene; • Certification costs; • Improvement of environmental protection; equipment and facilities for reprocessing of intermediate products and processable wastes; treatment and elimination of wastes: waste water works in slaughterhouses and fat catcher facilities for meat processing establishments; • Investment for slaughtering animals in conditions compatible with animal welfare; • Purchase of equipment for packaging; • Cold storage equipment, purchasing refrigerated transport means of carcass and meat products; • IT hardware and software for product and process management, Software & tracking system to implement traceability of carcass and meat inside the processing establishment. The ranking of investment priorities in the processing sector should be as follows: slaughterhouses - (rendering plants) – meat processors. Beside IPARD funding the agricultural sector would need substantially more support from the GOA. The current allocation of the budget for the sector agriculture and rural development makes just 2.2 % while the agricultural sector still produces more than 15 % of the GDP. Despite progress in many sectors the agriculture and rural development sector is and will be in the near future the backbone of all economic development in Albania. Meat Sector Study, page 10
