Zweibrücken: Schlachthof closure brings farmers into great need!

In a dramatic step that shakes agriculture in the region, the Färber company is investing two million euros in the Zweibrücken slaughterhouse! After the abrupt end of the slaughterhouse, the farmers face enormous challenges. The slaughterhouse, which has been an integral part of the region since 1890, was the only company that was close to farmers in the eastern Saarland and the West Palatinate. Long transport routes belonged to the past - until now!

The closure of the slaughterhouse has overthrew the local agriculture into a crisis. The importance of the location is only now being recognized properly, since the farmers stand there without a nearby slaughterhouse. The lack of slaughter opportunities forces many farmers to transport their animals over long distances - a costly and stressful situation that not only affects the animals, but also endangers the economic stability of the companies.

a glimmer of hope for the region

Stefan Gerhardsreiter from the Färber company was optimistic about the future of the slaughterhouse. With the investment, the company is to be modernized and efficiency increases. "We are convinced that with this step we can not only strengthen our own company, but also help farmers in the area," said Gerhardsreiter. The planned measures will make it possible to get the slaughterhouse going back and to offer farmers a reliable solution.

The region breathes - the return of the slaughterhouse could be the rescue for many farmers. At a time when local structures are increasingly at risk, the investment of Färber is a significant step towards a more stable agricultural future. It remains to be seen how quickly the work begins and what changes the slaughterhouse will bring!
