OUR livestock farmers, especially the small-timers, are a special breed of highly versatile and experienced people. The backbone of our livestock industry, they are keeping the business alive despite the acute challenges facing them today.

There are hundreds of small-time farmers all over the country. With the right incentives, guidance and advice by the relevant authorities, they could all be mobilised to maximise food production for the local market to reduce our reliance on food imports.
