Fiji Meat Industry Board - Lautoka

The Fiji Meat Industry Board (FMIB) was established under the Fiji Meat Industry ACT 237 of 1970, with the Suva abattoir opening at Nasinu Nine Miles six years later. The Suva abattoir and rendering plant were established to cater to the slaughter of cattle, pigs, goats, and sheep in the Central Division, and the rendering process turns abattoir by-products into animal feed. The abattoir sits on 35.4 hectares of state land with a 75-year Crown lease granted in 1976. The Vuda abattoir was established in 1983 to cater to the Western Division and sits on 6.35 hectares of Native land with a 75-year Native lease granted in 1982. The FMIB is based at the Suva abattoir property and has 74 full-time employees organized into six functional groups. The meat act and FMIB business model review will
