Botswana, Uganda foster collaboration in animal production

The Ugandan delegation also included the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of State for Animal Industry, Kasura Kyomukana, Head of Mission in Uganda High Commission of Pretoria, Professor Paul Amoru, Makerere University's Professor Masembe Charles and Commissioner, Dr Anna Rose Ademu.

The delegation toured amongst others, the BVI Plant, the National Agricultural Research and Development Institute (NARDI) and the Botswana Meat Commission (BMC) abattoir, during the three-day visit in Botswana. The tour culminated from a meeting by the State Presidents of both Botswana and Uganda held in Kampala late last year, which was then followed by a meet between the technocrats from the two governments. At the heart of the recent visit, the two governments mulled over the exchange of expertise in the field of research in livestock production.
