Cabinet Notes:<\/em><\/p>

The officials confirmed that Antigua and Barbuda is efficient in producing eggs to meet domestic demand; however, the production of meat by way of broilers continues to lag.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

One of the experts is a consultant out of London who has been in Antigua for 2 weeks; he made several proposals for increasing the production of meats.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

The need for achieving food security requires Antigua and Barbuda to improve the production of poultry meat since the country currently imports $16 million dollars\u2019 worth per year.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

 <\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

In order to achieve self-sufficiency, the producers would have to butcher 150 thousand chickens per month.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It was proposed to Cabinet that an abattoir capable of butchering a minimum of 14 thousand chickens daily could be installed in Antigua in 7 to 10 months.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Government is committed to building a new abitur that will slaughter many more chickens and an adjacent slaughter house to replace the current building which sometimes floods and has to be inadequate.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Cabinet encourages small farmers to plan for expansion including the number of hatcheries that can be utilize the number of available chicks for the growers.<\/em><\/p>\n
