Africa-Press – Botswana. Government will upgrade NARDI’s laboratories towards accreditation, expand testing capabilities and modernise the seed processing plant.
These strategic investments are expected to strengthen the national seed system, generate revenue, and create employment.
Complementing these efforts are high-impact, technology-driven initiatives, including organic fertiliser demonstrations and drone-assisted crop nutrition, as well as the expansion of watermelon value chains into juices, jams, and other processed products.
Collectively, these interventions underscore a clear national direction of transforming SOEs into disciplined, high-performing institutions; deepening value addition and export competitiveness; and accelerating job creation.
