Minerva Foods Australia closes second abattoir in WA, impacting the state's sheep processing capacity.

Minerva Foods Australia has shut down its second West Australian abattoir in Tammin, following the 2023 closure of the Shark Lake facility. The Tammin site, which processed 5,000 lambs weekly, had a combined 15% market share of lambs slaughtered in Western Australia. The closures are linked to the phase-out of the live sheep trade and concerns over onshore processing capacity, potentially harming the state's sheep sector and supply chain.
