Kampala gets first class pork
Pork comsumers in the Ugandan capital of Kampala can be looking forward to
more quality food, since the National Agricultural Advisory Services (NAADS) are
now targeting the city's pork market.
Before the agriculture committee of Parliament,
NAADS
executive director Silim Nahday said his services were directing efforts into
providing 'first-class' quality pork for the capital's market.
Nahday
said farmers are currently advised on how to keep their pork free of disease and
how to ensure that there is always plenty of pork in the city.
"Kampala eats a lot of pigs. We are working with some one with a chain of
abattoirs, who is putting up a cold chain of stores. He will work with farmers
of pigs and goats, to provide a market for their produce and ensure that first
class quality pork does not run out. That is our emphasis this financial
year."
