Botswana Meat Commission Expands Market Reach with Halal Certification
The Botswana Meat Commission (BMC) recently announced a significant development in its strategy to revitalize its market presence: the acquisition of Halal certification for its facilities in Lobatse and Maun. This certification is a pivotal step in the organization’s broader efforts to expand into regional export markets.
Strategic Move for Global Trade
Halal certification signifies compliance with Islamic dietary laws, opening doors to a substantial global consumer base. For the BMC, this certification is expected to facilitate new export opportunities and strengthen its position in existing markets, particularly within regions with large Muslim populations.
Supporting National Economic Goals
This initiative aligns with the government’s objectives for the beleaguered state-owned enterprise. The re-establishment of the BMC’s market stability and profitability by the end of the year is a stated priority, with Halal certification playing a crucial role in achieving these goals.
