# Meatco resumes limited slaughter as Savanna stops processing

> Meatco restarted limited slaughter on 27 and 28 October, using cattle from its own feedlot after a 30-day quarantine, and sold the beef domestically. Savanna Beef Processors stopped all processing and sent about 240 workers on leave amid a foot-and-mouth disease outbreak in Namibia's FMD-free zone. Meatco also cut the prices it pays producers for November.

## Why it matters

The foot-and-mouth outbreak reduces Namibian beef processing and export capacity, which is a localized disruption with little direct effect on global feed grain or meal prices.
