Private sector urged to partner govt in livestock finance facility

ZIMBABWE’S private financial sector has been urged to partner government in coming up with a commercially viable and well-structured livestock finance facilities for the production of quality breeding beef and dairy cattle.

Livestock and meat advisory council economist Reneth Mano told NewsDay that Zimbabwe needed to boost the quality of her breeding beef and dairy cattle.

“The country does not have abattoir-capacity problem, but is facing supply-side challenges in stimulating the growth of its commercial cattle herd on grossly undercapitalised newly-resettled A1 and A2 farms,” he said.
