Doha, Qatar witnessed the launch of a camel abattoir and a mobile abattoir by Widam Food Company, a public shareholding company, at Abu Nakhla Camel Market. The announcement was made by the company on Wednesday, aimed at expanding and elevating the quality of its services and products. This comes as there has been a surge in demand for camel meat among consumers.
The establishment of the camel abattoir is seen as a significant step towards improving food security and self-sufficiency in camel meat within Qatar. Besides serving local residents, it will cater to the commercial sector, fulfilling daily market demand for fresh camel meat.
Ayedh Al Qahtani, the CEO of Widam Food Company, highlighted that both abattoirs were equipped to the highest health and food safety standards. This is to ensure they meet the needs of both residents and the commercial sector. He further revealed that these facilities will expedite slaughtering operations and fulfill daily orders. Each day, the camel abattoir is capable of processing over 100 camels, while the mobile abattoir can handle up to 200 sheep.
Widam Food Company is the primary supplier of live livestock and chilled and frozen meat in the local market. It also oversees and operates the automated abattoir at Al Wakrah Central Market, alongside managing several other local abattoirs.
