Agriculture crucial for economy

Breadcrumb

Agriculture remains the backbone of many economies.

These were the views of the Chief Agriculture Technician in the Agriculture, Water, and Land Reform Ministry, George Haufiku, who, in an interview with nbc News, encouraged livestock farmers to select quality breeds rather than farm simply for the purpose of multiplication.

The Ongwediva Annual Trade Fair hosts the agricultural sector, with fine-quality breeds of cattle, goats, and sheep displayed for sale.

Haufiku says good breeds result in increased quality of meat and milk and ensure genetic diversity.
