Nyagatare Rallies Kigali Farmers to Modernize Livestock Sector

Nyagatare District, home to one of Rwanda's largest cattle populations, is grappling with persistently low milk production. This situation persists despite the district's significant livestock numbers, highlighting deep-seated issues within its farming sector.

The core problems stem from a combination of factors, including poor animal feeding, insufficient farm management techniques, and other challenges inherent to livestock rearing. These issues collectively hinder the potential for increased milk yields.

In an effort to revitalize the sector, Nyagatare is now looking to Kigali-based farmers for guidance. The district aims to modernize its livestock farming practices by adopting strategies and expertise from the capital's more advanced agricultural community. This collaboration seeks to bridge the gap in knowledge and implementation, ultimately boosting milk output.
