I follow President Mokgweetsi E. K. Masisi  page and it is refreshing to see always visiting sheep farmers all over that place in their kraals.

Africa needs more of these simple productivity solutions.

Botswana and Namibia have thriving livestock industry. Kenya livestock sector probably has the greatest potential in agriculture. Small productivity gains would mean tremendous increase in incomes. I have been trying to get hold of ladoum sheep from Senegal and try to crossbreed with dopers https://www.economist.com/middle-east-and-africa/2019/05/16/why-people-in-senegal-pay-a-fortune-for-fancy-sheep . Hopefully to get a bigger hardy sheep.

Dairy sector is okay. It's beef and leather sector iko na shida. Ladoum sheep - that is huge.
