Up early the next morning, we were at the Mawashi slaughter plant by 6am. Australia still has a significant live sheep export opportunity in the Middle East although they face rising opposition.
Mawashi both imports live animals and chilled lamb from Australia. Although not operating as efficiently as we were used to seeing at home, the yards and plant bore witness to a huge effort from Meat and Livestock Australia to ensure correct animal welfare and hygiene standards.
We walked through to the morning livestock auction where we were greeted with great delight by the traders – I’m still not sure if I am the new owner of two camels and a goat (probably helps that I am already married!)
