Africa-Press<\/a> – Zambia<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Fisheries and Livestock Minister Makoza Chikoti says the government is resolved to transform livestock farming into a viable economic sector. Mr. Chikoti says the Ministry has set as its priority to revive strategic and sustainable livestock infrastructure that remained dormant in the recent past.<\/p>\n

Speaking when he paid a courtesy call on Eastern Province Minister Peter Phiri, this morning, Mr. Chikoti said the fisheries and livestock has a huge potential to contribute to the economy of the country and that the government is geared to take it to its higher heights.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe purpose of our coming is to launch sustainable livestock Infrastructure we have here and dotted elsewhere across the country so that we can actualize the Ministry\u2019s objectives,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The Minister further said that the other objective of the Ministry is to change the mindsets of people to start taking up livestock rearing at an early age.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe also want to change the mindset that when you are old and tired that is when you think of keeping livestock. This sector is capable of creating jobs, and a few things need to be put in place,\u201d Mr Chikoti said.<\/p>\n

And Eastern Province Minister Peter Phiri said the region is agriculture-based and hence empowerment under fisheries and livestock will improve the living standards of the people.<\/p>\n

\u201cNeed these things to go to the intended people. In the past the projects were going to cadres,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
