Luna Slaughterhouse
More than 20 years ago, Hagos family members founded Luna through their commitment to establishing an exemplary fresh produce supplier in Ethiopia. Filled with a great passion for the rich livestock resource in the country and an inspiration to make Ethiopia one of the leading exporters of standardized meat products, the family started building a modern export slaughterhouse that ended up being the pioneer state-of-the-art production facility in the country.
Luna Export Slaughterhouse is the leading exporter of international standard Ethiopian Beef, Veal, Goat, mutton, and offal to the Middle East which has led Luna to become a trusted brand for fresh chilled meat export from Ethiopia. Luna Slaughterhouse is also supplying the local market through its parallel unit “Fresh Corner”, located in different locations in the capital city of the country. Delivering to our customers’ requirement of international standards via an enabling environment for pastoralists to raise their animals in a modern husbandry system has been the key driving force to our strength to vision and make a huge investment in a feedlot ranch that is one of its kind in Ethiopia and the rest of the world.
