BMC partners BancABC to speed-up farmers� payments

The partnership was introduced to farmers during BMC’s interaction with suppliers of cattle to the Francistown abattoir through road shows that started earlier in the month.

Addressing farmers here last week, BMC executive manager livestock procurement, Kenneth Makubate said delays in payments hav BMC partners BancABC to speed-up farmers’ payments e contributed to the declining supply of cattle to the Francistown abattoir. He said the Francistown abattoir demands 200 cattle a day and 4,000 a month, and currently they fail to meet the demand. He said at most they get 160 cattle and at worst the numbers can hit as low as 20 per day.
