AFFCO Wairoa is a meat processing plant at 71 Hunter Brown Street in Frasertown, Wairoa, on the east coast of the North Island. The plant has been part of Wairoa since 1916 and has been owned by the AFFCO group since 1990. It processes lamb, mutton, goat and beef on two shifts, to full halal standards, and it is approved for export markets including the EU, the United States, China, the Middle East and Malaysia. Its products include chilled and frozen meat, gas-flushed packs, a full range of offal and rendered products such as meat and bone meal and tallow. At the peak season it employs about 650 people. The plant is one of 12 AFFCO sites around New Zealand, and the group is part of the Talley's Group. Through its Cash for Calves programme it gives 40 cents for each bobby calf supplied to a local school or fire brigade.
