Emerging poultry farmers in the Oshana Region are advised to exercise patience and network with each other to generate meaningful income from their projects.

To address some of the challenges local farmers face, the Ministry of Agriculture, Water and Land Reform office at Ongwediva, held a one-day engagement with poultry farmers to explore ways and share information on how they can best benefit from the poultry value chain.

The farmers need to stand together and collaborate if they are to draw significant benefits from poultry farming.

In attendance, the Chairperson of the Oshana Regional Council, Andreas Uutoni, urged local companies and public institutions to support the government's directive to procure local produce.

The ministry has so far assisted 119 beneficiaries in this financial year and plans to help more people in the next budget circle.
