PROJECT COVERAGE
The overall objective is to boost the beef value chain in Botswana and the profitable participation of farmers. Hence, the Botswana Meat Commission will be converted to a limited liability company and be commercialized to achieve operational efficiencies with an appropriate mix of ownership between farmers, legal entities and government. This will require remodelling the business operations of Lobatse and Francistown abattoirs in two to three years.
Two-fold purposes: Explore the use of the “good practice case” of Norway’s Farmer Owned Meat Enterprise (Nortura and the GPS Food Group, Norway) to correspondingly transform the Botswana Meat Commission; and Develop a framework for transforming the Botswana Meat Commission into a Farmer-Owned Beef Abattoir and Marketing Company.
Three-fold Project outputs:
- Benchmarking report with an action plan compiled;
- A framework for transforming the Botswana Meat Commission into a farmer-Owned Beef Abattoir and Marketing Company developed; and
- A profitable business model for the new company is developed and subsequently approved by Government and BNBPU.
Intervention areas:
- Value Chains;
- Competitiveness;
- Marketing;
- Product development;
- Investment and Finance;
- Research & Development;
- Compliance;
- Training and Capacity Building.
