Egypt opened its first slaughterhouse built to international standards in Kafr Shukr, Qalyubia, featuring a biogas unit to convert waste into organic fertilizer and energy. The facility, costing 45 million Egyptian pounds, was inaugurated by key officials and is part of a nationwide modernization plan for slaughterhouses.

Spanning 2,000 square meters, it has a capacity of 20 animals per hour, advanced safety systems, and aims to improve food security and regulate meat distribution. The governorate plans to seek export permits for its products.
