Fast-track National Livestock Policy to cut K980 million Meat Import Bill


Papua New Guinea could save nearly K1 billion every year and improve thousands of rural livelihoods if the National Livestock Policy is urgently implemented, according to the Ministry of Livestock.

Minister for Livestock Sekie Agisa said during the Livestock Policy Validation workshop last week that the country spends more than K980 million annually importing meat products such as beef, mutton and others, money that could instead be invested in building a strong domestic livestock industry and empowering local farmers.
