The Island's agricultural industry's been invited to a meeting next month to discuss the future of the Meat Plant.
The facility has generated much debate in recent times - the last figures released from the government show it lost half a million pounds in 2015.
The gathering will take place at Peel Golf Club from 7pm on Thursday, February 9th.
MHK Tim Baker is a member of the Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture - he says the plant is a vital piece of infrastructure:
