BMC raises prices to boost throughput

On Monday, the abattoir issued an announcement stating that the incentive will bring more compliant cattle supply to the Lobatse plant.

In an interview with BusinessWeek, public relations and communications manager, Brian Dioka said BMC currently provides its abattoir needs with 70 percent of cattle bought through its field-buying, also known as Direct Cattle Purchase (DCP) programme, whereas privately owned feedlots only supply 30 percent.
