In a statement, the Department of Agriculture assured traders and farmers that efforts will be made to complete the upgrades as quickly as possible, emphasizing their commitment to minimizing disruption and restoring full service as soon as the project is completed.

The upgrades are aimed at ensuring a safer and more effective operation, benefiting both the animals and those involved in the processing procedures.
