Ngami farmers say BMC�s 30% price review too little

“The last price review in 2013 at Maun Abattoir was by five percent, but the current review is by 30%,” Dioka said.

He said as of May, carcasses weighing above 180kg would be paid an average price of P 19.50 per kilogramme (kg) regardless of their grade.  He said what this means is that carcasses weighing above 180kg will no longer be graded as: prime, super, grade 1,2,3,4 and canning as it was the case in the past.  He said, however, carcasses weighing less than 180kg will still be graded and attract lesser prices.
