JAKARTA (JP): The largest chicken slaughterhouse in the country with a slaughtering capacity of 32,000 chickens per day will be built with an investment of Rp 17 billion (US$7.5 million) on a 10-hectare area in Salatiga, Central Java.

"The slaughterhouse, which will use modern equipment, is expected to fulfill the demand for chickens in Central Java and Yogyakarta," said Sasmita, the president of PT Bina Karunia Alam Nusantara Yogyakarta, the company which will set up the slaughterhouse.
