Mr Msoffe said the ranch will comprise at least 36 ranching blocks with potential livestock keeping.<\/p>\n<p>He further said Narco is currently cooperating with parent ministry to demarcate, relocate and compensate some residents who have invaded some areas of the envisaged ranch.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have set aside a total of 11,700 hectares in order to compensate the villagers in four villages of Lotoro, Kyo- buhele, Misambya and By- ingerenge who have settled in the ranching areas,\u201d he ex- pressed.<\/p>\n<p>He informed that, if all goes well the new ranch will be launched in October this year.<\/p>\n<p>The managing director noted that the establishment of the Mwisa II was an important step towards making professional and huge investments in local areas.<\/p>\n<p>According to Mr Msoffe, NARCO has so far developed a crucial roadmap for the im- plementation of the strategic project that would overhaul and improve the livestock keeping and ensure that Tanza- nia\u2019s livestock sector plays an important role in fast-tracking industrialisation drive in the country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe livestock sector is crucial in fast-tracking the country\u2019s industrial economy, and therefore, we are well prepared to ensure farmers are keeping their livestock in suit- able areas and observe profes- sional practices,\u2019\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, he added, plans are also afoot to start training livestock keepers on best animal breeds, as well as impart- ing them with key knowledge on how to keep their livestock more professionally. \u201c<\/p>\n<p>Theplan is also to train our staff so that they can cope with modern livestock keeping technologies, and we are plan- ning also to recruit more staff to facilitate the company\u2019s delivering ability,\u201d he observed.<\/p>\n<p>He said the company has already demarcated and fenced all of its ranching blocks, apart from Mwisa II.<\/p>\n<p>According to the NARCO boss, the exercise was target- ing to curb illegal invasion to ranching areas.<\/p>\n<p>At least two potential in- vestors from Egypt and Namibia have already lodged ap- plications to invest into meat processing industries within the country.<\/p>\n<p>A total of 120 giant and 200 small scale investors are currently with diverse con- tracts with the state-owned company in different regions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Tanzania.
