India’s Entry to Qatar -Moumita Chaudhuri

-The Telegraph

The Telegraph brings you the story of how — and why — Calcutta is putting meat on the World Cup table

Ahead of the World Cup this year, 1.2 metric tonnes (one tonne equals 1,000 kilos) of mutton made its way to Qatar from the Haringhata meat plant in Nadia district of Bengal. The plant and the brand take their name from a small town in Nadia.

To get back to the Qatar consignment, the buyers — Dahiya Export and Import Limited — have signed a long-term contract that will entail a steady supply of sheep and goat meat, known as chevon and mutton, respectively, over a period of time.

At the Nadia plant, 300 sheep and goats are slaughtered (Haringhata meats are certified halal) every day and sent to Calcutta, from where it all moves to the 667 Haringhata outlets scattered across Bengal. At the poultry-processing plant in Haringhata, 8,000 broiler birds are slaughtered every day and 10-12 tonnes of chicken and a total of 1.5 tonnes of duck, quail and turkey meat are produced.

All of it is brought to a cold storage in Belgachia in north Calcutta and supplied in refrigerated vans to outlets in South Bengal. Twelve to 14 tonnes of poultry meat produced at Darjeeling’s Phansidewa plant is supplied to outlets in north Bengal, Sikkim and Assam. Five tonnes of pork are produced weekly at Nadia’s pork plant and sent to Belgachia’s cold storage and from there to south Bengal. Another six tonnes of pork are produced at Phansidewa’s pork plant and supplied to north Bengal, Assam and Sikkim. At Kalyani’s egg manufacturing plant, 3.2 lakh eggs are produced every day and supplied to Haringhata outlets across Bengal. Two tonnes of rabbit meat are produced twice a month — it has a low demand.
