The agriculture minister is cautiously welcoming the possibility of Manx farmers working with an English firm which runs a number of abbatoirs.
Representatives of the Preston-based Dunbia were on the Island last week and delivered a presentation to some 180 Manx farmers at a meeting at Ellerslie Farm.
New markets for Manx meat are set to open up with the end of the red meat derogation, and Mr Shimmin says Dunbia is certainly offering one option:
'Unprecedented' situation after deemster in Island's first group litigation case resigns
Acting Deemster became 'significantly unwell' after hearing evidence
Plantation wood, telegraph poles and Satnav to be discussed in the House of Keys
13 questions tabled for oral answer at this week's sitting
Immigration changes designed to stop exploitation by 'bad eggs'
Minister admits government has been 'overly enthusiastic' in attracting new people
Contingency budget for horse tram tracks 'significantly increased'
Treasury advice to DoI due to 'volatile financial climate'
