The Municipality of Miranda do Douro in Portugal has extended a COVID-19 support measure for the first half of 2021, offering a 50% reduction in slaughter prices for Bovines, Sheep, Goats, Pigs, and Piglets at its Municipal Slaughterhouse. This initiative, introduced in the latter half of 2020, has been pivotal in keeping the livestock sector operational and supporting businesses like butchers, breeders' cooperatives, and more, by mitigating income losses. The extension of this support is viewed as crucial for the financial recovery of these entities during the ongoing pandemic.
