The Livestock Producers Organisation (LPO) of Namibia says while it supports Meatco’s realignment, it will urgently seek a meeting with the company’s board to determine which processes were followed.
Meatco recently announced that employees who are 55 and older, and in particular 60 years and older, will part ways with the organisation as part of rightsizing the business.
To ensure that the business remains competitive, sustainable and profitable, it crafted a leaner, agile and dynamic structure to make it more robust in the ambiguous global environment, Meatco said.
LPO chairman Martinus Pretorius said the organisation is concerned about the strategic principles applied in deciding that age should be the only criteria for retrenchment and realignment.

February 16, 2021 THE Department of Agriculture (DA) in Western Visayas continues to work on helping the country revive its hog industry and reduce pork prices by shipping out supply of the commodity from the region, its top official said.
DA-Western Visayas Director Remelyn Recoter, in her Facebook post, said a total of 20 hog vans with 1,600 heads were shipped out to Luzon via port in Iloilo City Monday morning, February 15.
Recoter said this is in support of President Rodrigo Duterte s Executive Order 124 that mandated a price ceiling on selected pork and chicken products in the National Capital Region (NCR) and Agriculture Secretary William Dar s Memorandum Order 13 on transport support.
