KarooPrime Capretto Business Plan › Section 16 › Regulatory & Compliance Framework

Operating a formal abattoir and exporting animal protein is a heavily
regulated activity. Full compliance is both a licence-to-operate
requirement and a core competitive moat, since it is precisely the
barrier the informal sector cannot cross.

16.1 Domestic regulation

• Abattoir registration and grading under the Meat Safety Act and
  associated regulations.
• Environmental authorisations, water-use licensing and effluent
  compliance.
• Municipal zoning, health and business licensing.
• Animal-welfare and transport compliance.
• Labour, occupational health and safety, and B-BBEE
  compliance.

16.2 Export regulation

Export adds veterinary export accreditation, importing-country health
protocols, halaal certification recognised by the destination authority,
and export documentation and traceability requirements. The Company’s
compliance function is resourced to manage this complexity as a
permanent core capability rather than a one-off project.
