A group of farmers gathered at Farm Ninette in the Omaheke Region over the weekend to discuss the importance of pig farming, effective management, and potential markets. 

Verinao Tjijombo has been farming with pigs for almost a year and owns over 100 of them. 

A lack of land to set up permanent structures and hatchery systems in the country is one of the key challenges faced by the Konguavi Chicken Project. 

The initiative stocks more than 900 egg-laying breeds.

It currently operates from a leased plot situated on the outskirts of Gobabis.
