Preview: France's Court of Auditors has just published its annual report. Among the issues addressed is a report on the public slaughterhouse situation.
The financial courts have carried out an extensive investigation into 80 public slaughterhouses (municipal or inter-municipal) in nine regions. The investigations showed that this public service is not very profitable and that most of the plants are experiencing serious financial difficulties. These slaughterhouses are too large and under-exploited, and their total output represents no more than 7% of the country's total production. In particular, for pork, in 2017 production in municipal slaughterhouses represented only 5.4% of the country's total pork produced.
