I think you have heard that we are not selling BMC was an auction in Francistown, the Wayside auction and to the Chinese, we are not selling it to the Americans, or in the history of Botswana ... we are not privatising it soon.

Let me quote programmes that we have; the ISPAAD and LIMID you; those are your words and that is what you said. actually are output based and they benefit Batswana. Anybody else can ask, I will give them clarification. I How are they supposed to benefit them? When we are was still talking about the confidence that farmers are talking about poverty reduction, with the little you have getting after the consultations, the opening of borders given us, these are the programmes which we believe and realising the true value of the agricultural sector we will be able to push poverty eradication without especially the beef. This is why it was important for us leaving anybody behind and making sure that each and to ensure that we fix BMC to a point that you get the true every Motswana benefits from the agricultural sector. value of your cattle. Even those who do not have cattle will start being interested in them. I will see Honourable Natural resources; somebody was talking about it just Taolo, after here just to donate a cow to start farming. now, Honourable Monnakgotla was talking about the natural resources and the need to review the National HONOURABLE MEMBERS: …(Murmurs)… Policy for Rural Development.

We have a new Professor who just came in and things are looking very beautiful and we are hoping for a Consultation; the other day we actually took out the better future because we are not just going to be talking export of live cattle. We have consulted with farmers about production. We are talking about the whole value and they advised us. The opening of the borders has chain and also bringing in the technologies that will actually made us realise the value of our cattle. Before, improve how we do business. the prices were very low, but now due to the consultation that Government has between farmers and different Knowledge-based economy; it is a good thing that I stakeholders, we saw the value of cattle and the interest just spoke about BUAN.
