The Spatial Finance Initiative Beef Abattoir Database (Top 5 Meatpackers) dataset provides information about the beef abattoirs owned by the 5 largest international meatpackers, that are operational today. The database contains 119 abattoir or slaughterhouse facilities that produce beef, with exact geolocation and information about ownership, operating capacity, facility and production type.

This information was manually collected, validated and enriched by combining information from various corporate and country specific web and map sources. This is a work in progress and is a first step in developing a global, open asset-level database for the meatpacking sector.
