What to do with the poultry industry

If the Department of Agriculture's statistics  are to be believed Botswana now produces somewhere in the vicinity of 60,000 tonnees of poultry meat per annum.

This would mean that Batswana who are fast becoming urbanized are now consuming more poultry than beef on a per capita basis. But as economists are fond of reminding the public and policy makers, there is no such thing as a free lunch and the development of the poultry industry certainly came at a price.
