The Botswana Horticultural Market (BHM) has seized operations after it failed to achieve its objectives while its financial performance was sluggish.

According to the Ministry of Agricultural Development and Food Security’s chief information and public relations officer, Boikhutso Rabasha, the board of BHM has taken the decision to mothball the operations of the market, following its unsatisfactory performance.

“The market is not performing according to the objective originally set for the market. The closure would allow the Board to come up with a new strategy to benefit the stakeholders especially farmers,” she said. Three months ago, government gave up in its last attempt to save the troubled BHM as the Ministry decided to stop paying rentals for the market. The government has been paying rentals for BHM’s warehouse at Broadhurst since its inception in 2008 through a grant.
