    Summary

    The  project  financed  the reconstruction of the Kodila meat processing company's production  and  sales facilities and  the  purchase of new equipment. A new building serving as a ripening depot and a shop was constructed. It was built using the traditional architecture style of the area using clay walls and a straw roof. The building also provided space for presentations and tastings. The  existing  processing  premises  were  extended,  renovated  and  modernised  with  new equipment for processing, internal transport, packaging, as well for computerised production and storage control.
