The article outlines a new initiative by the Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board (AHDB) to establish a cull and render facility in an abattoir, funded by the pork levy, to address the pork sector's challenges, including a skilled butcher shortage. The facility will make a commercial operating charge per pig to the producer and is expected to operate for 8-12 weeks, with the AHDB covering staff costs during this period. Additionally, the AHDB has announced a one-month levy holiday and provided independent evidence to the Government, leading to the approval of 800 visas for trained butchers and abattoir staff.
