The Botswana Horticulture Market, which was established late last year, is quickly setting its mark in the country’s horticulture business as more local horticultural farmers are selling their products through it and not on the streets as used to be the case in the past.
The Chief Executive Officer, Abakeng Koswane, is happy that the investment the government had made had not gone to waste and is achieving the desired results of getting more Batswana into horticulture business.
“We are happy that the market is quickly achieving its ambition of getting Batswana into the horticulture business,” Koswane told Sunday Standard.
He envisions the move going a long way into achieving the government’s ambition of encouraging them to change from the tradition of growing for consumption only.
More encouraging, he said, is that some young people are also going into the business of horticulture, which he says is a clear sign that the market and horticulture in general has a bright future.
