Govt issues permits for donkey meat export

The latest developments are music to the ears of several Chinese investors who have expressed interest in partnering with Batswana to develop donkey meat production businesses in the country for export to theirs. Exporting donkey meat to China is seen as another opportunity, which Botswana could tap into as the meat is considered a delicacy to Chinese people and is actually more expensive compared to beef. Other lucrative markets for donkey meat are Denmark, Germany and France.

One investor is reportedly planning to aggressively tap into the 300,000-strong population of donkeys in Botswana.
