Company Story
By way of a parliamentary act, the Botswana Meat Commission (BMC) was set up on December 24th, 1965, with the goal of promoting the international growth of the nation's beef and related products. Lobatse saw the opening of the first slaughterhouse, and Maun and Francistown Abattoirs followed in 1983 and 1989, respectively. Due to a lack of cattle supplies, the Maun Abattoir was shut down permanently in 1996. It reopened in April 2010. Over the years, the BMC has made a substantial contribution to the nation's progress.
Beef exports were the only source of foreign currency income in Botswana's early years of independence. Even though cattle no longer generates the most foreign cash, it is still crucial to the economy since it has diverse effects on the rural population, who depend on farming for their living. An integrated facility including an abattoir, a deboning and cutting plant, a cannery, a rendering plant, and a tannery makes up the BMC head office in Lobatse.
