The project, covering more than 2.5 ha in the Hapro Food Industry Park , will have an abattoir, a 10 tonne per day frozen food arm, a 10 tonne per day cannery and a 2,000-tonne refrigeration system.

The abattoir will be equipped with a system to slaughter 100 cattle a day and a system to slaughter 8,000 fowls a day.

Hapro has signed contracts with livestock breeding farms in Ha Tay, Bac Ninh, Bac Giang, Yen Bai and Phu Tho provinces to ensure the supply of quality materials for its facility.

The company also plans to build a network of between 35-50 safe food stores, with the first 10 stores expected to be operational by the end of this year.
