Agripreneurs urged to hire agric professionals

Different speakers at the just-ended Botswana-South Africa Business Forum expressed the Botswana University of Agriculture and Natural Resources (BUAN) graduates are not utilised enough to improve the agricultural sector.

Woolworths country manager, Gorata Lekau said if these experts are hired at the farms, it will improve the produce giving farmers a higher chance of getting a highly profitable market. “Retailers mostly do not comprise in terms of quality, it is high time we have these field workers produce for us and facilitate quality production,” she said.
