Australian poultry processor, Luv-a-Duck will be creating 80 new jobs in the Wimmera district.
The company announced that it will be investing in a new duck value-adding kitchen facility, a research and development facility for breeding and growing ducks and expanded facilities at properties already under contract by farmers in the area, the Weekly Times reports.
The investment is expected to cost around $28m with Luv-a-Duck funding half or the money and the remainder sourced from contract duck growers.
The Victorian state government will also be contributing to the project by promising $600,000 in support.
