Résumé

This Act concerns the development of the pig industry in Zambia. Subject to the provisions of this Act, there shall be a levy at such rate as the Minister may prescribe on all pigs produced and slaughtered in Zambia. This shall not apply in relation to pigs which are obsolete or produced by a producer and consumed by him, members of his household or his servants. The Minister may make different provision in respect of different classes of pigs. There shall be established a special account to be known as the Pig Levy Account into which shall be paid the proceeds of the levy. The carcasses of all pigs slaughtered in Zambia for: (a) export or sale as carcasses; or (b) making into bacon, ham or other products for human consumption; shall be graded immediately after slaughter in accordance with the provisions of this Act. No person shall use premises as a bacon factory unless he or she holds a licence to use those premises as a bacon factory issued by the Minister (sect. 14). In issuing or extending a licence the Minister may impose such conditions, including a condition requiring the holder of the licence to dress and cure annually a maximum or a minimum number or not more than a maximum or less than a minimum number of pig carcasses for the making of bacon or ham, as in his opinion are necessary to assist the development of the pig industry in Zambia (sect. 17). The Minister shall appoint Government graders and inspectors for purposes of this Act. Offences and penalties are prescribed. (20 sections)
