New BMC prices to entice farmers - CEO

The new price structure that came into effect at the Botswana Meat Commission on Monday is meant to entice more Batswana into cattle farming and restore their waning confidence in the abattoir, Dr Motshodi Raborokgwe, the Chief Executive Officer of the BMC, has said. "We want people to leave their jobs and go into beef farming. We have realised that if the prices of cattle remain low, there will be a decline in beef breeding," Raborokgwe said in an interview.
