GCC councillors task govt to seek alternative beef markets

Addressing Assistant Minister of Agriculture Oreeditse Molebatsi yesterday, the councillors enquired why government is allowing the EU to dictate terms over the export of beef.

Led by the deputy mayor, Haskins Nkaigwa yesterday, the councillors suggested that government seek alternative markets where beef can be sold under less stringent conditions. Nkaigwa's concern was that the loss-making Botswana Meat Commission (BMC) would not make any profits even after meeting the EU recommendations.
