The Rwandan government is introducing a financing scheme to offer pig and poultry farmers, as well as animal feed producers, bank loans with reduced interest rates, up to 8%, in an effort to boost the agriculture sector and increase production of poultry and pig products. The scheme, which will allocate at least Rwf2 billion through the Development Bank of Rwanda, aims to stimulate more investment in the industry and help the country meet its food demand goals as its population grows. Additionally, the government is exploring alternative animal feed sources, such as black soldier flies, and investigating the potential of sweet potato vines as feed ingredients, in an effort to make animal feeds more affordable and sustainable.
