Farmers urged to market cattle with Meatco
2021-03-09
Following the good rains received in most part of the country, Meatco has urged farmers to market their cattle with the meat processing and marketing entity, saying that the corporation pays market related prices to farmers.
“It is important for Meatco to service its markets both locally and internationally sustainably. Although with the good rains received this season, producers are restocking, we cannot ignore our clients’ need to receive products that are of the highest quality,” says Corporate Affairs Manager Rosa Hamukuaja-Thobias.
“To meet client needs, the department aims to buy animals from communal and commercial producers through strategically devised platforms, such as permit days scheduled in the communal areas, which allow mass gatherings where the department can buy many animals.”
