CSC doubles cattle slaughter capacity after funding boost

Zimbabwe’s Cold Storage Company (CSC) has more than doubled its daily cattle slaughter capacity from approximately 50 to 120 after receiving funding from the Mutapa Investment Fund, and the refurbishment of its Bulawayo facilities.

The State-owned meat processor had, for years, operated well below capacity after collapsing at the peak of Zimbabwe’s economic crisis in the late 2000s. 

At its height, CSC was one of Africa’s largest beef processors, operating abattoirs and depots across the country and supplying both domestic and export markets, particularly Europe.
