Food production miserably fails national demand

Botswana’s dairy production is characterised by a long-standing milk supply deficit with the import bill for the consumer stable standing at P147.9 million, Mmegi has learnt.  Local dairy producers are failing to meet the 60 million litres national demand, only falling at a measly 4.9 million annually.

This was revealed by Minister of Agricultural Development and Food Security, Patrick Ralotsia at the World Food Day commemorated yesterday at Adam’s Apple Farm in Mochudi.
