  1. Very informational!
    I understand that we have been importing goat meat. Why? We have the ideal conditions for rearing goats.

    1. We certainly have the ideal conditions for rearing goats. However, there is need for improved breeding stock which is what should be imported. These will then improve the value chain. Due to high cost of these stock, if the policy makers want to boost agriculture then taxes should also be removed from breeding stock. This will improve stock, growth and size and bring significant value to the farmer and the community at large.
