Minister urges self-dependency in food production

He stated that the change is occurring at a time when the nation is urging a decrease in reliance on foreign food products and is actively exploring ways to produce and export goods to boost domestic revenue.

Officiating at the 49th Ghanzi Agricultural Show last week, Molao said over 300 farmers within the district ploughed and planted over 700 hectares of cereal, legumes, and pulses. He encouraged farmers to increase the numbers in both arable and horticultural farming to help Botswana attain food security and reduce the import bill.
