Tanzania will next month start exporting meat to Zambia, top official of the National Ranching Company (Narco) has revealed.
The deal between the two countries had already been sealed, and exportation would start immediately after finalisation of the logistical planning.
Narco general manager Dr John Mbogoma said they were currently working on the logistics for the exports to Zambia.
In an exclusive interview with The Guardian, the official explained that at the moment, they are laying the groundwork; and hopes that exportation would start effectively in February, this year.
This provides reliable market for the country’s livestock products, particularly cattle, as Zambian authorities need 24 tonnes of meat (equivalent to 240 cows) from Tanzania daily.
he said Tanzania has the capacity to supply the required quantity of meat under the latest programme which is implemented by Narco, Ministry of Livestock Development and Fisheries and Sumbawanga-based meat-processing campany.
According to the official, the beef export deal came after Zambia Beef Company requested to be supplied with the products from Tanzania daily.
