The Kavango East and Kavango West farmers' unions have called for speedy implementation of the 11th European Development Fund Livestock Support Project in the northern communal areas.

The Ministry of Agriculture, Water and Land Reform is the implementing agent for the project meant to improve livestock marketing north of the Red Line.

The farmers' unions made the call at a media conference at Rundu, saying they face numerous challenges that hamper the development of the livestock production sector.
