Matson Consulting has extensive experience working with projects involved in livestock and poultry growing and processing operations. The production and processing of beef, poultry, and pork are all areas in which we have gained knowledge and understanding so that we can better help clients take advantage of opportunities to sustain, expand, and thrive.
We are dedicated to ensuring that the expertise we provide is of the highest quality. Working with clients in all of the above areas has given us a familiarity and better understanding of how the industry works and what it takes for a business to be successful in it. Matson Consulting has completed feasibility studies, business plans, and grant applications for clients with livestock and poultry production and processing ventures, each time giving us more insight into how we can best assist processors and farmers in taking their businesses to the next stage of growth.
We have multiple examples of work related to the meat processing and marketing industry:
