The Botswana pork industry is producing less than half of the national demand of 1500 tonnes per year, with the country producing 477 tonnes and importing 518.99 tonnes of processed pork products in 2019. Challenges such as high feed prices, inadequate slaughtering facilities, and transboundary diseases are contributing to the production shortfall. However, the government is implementing measures to improve production, including training farmers, forming associations, and providing financial assistance. Despite these efforts, the industry is struggling due to the high cost of feed and reduced demand from establishments closing during the COVID-19 pandemic, leading to dropped pork prices and financial struggles for farmers.
