SAN DIEGO, CA, April 04, 2012
Tswana Pride has overcome incredible adversity in the last three years to become the largest poultry producing company in Botswana. In 2009, the company's abattoir burnt down and had to be entirely rebuilt at a cost of 90 million BWP. The new facility, which opened for operation in mid-2011, was constructed to the latest European standards and today it is Botswana's biggest, most state-of-the-art abattoir.When the abattoir was destroyed by fire, Tswana Pride used the opportunity to build the most technologically sophisticated facility in the region. Although the company now boasts the most high-end equipment and is a market leader, it believes there is still room for improvement.
One area it is particularly interested in working on is its farming operations. "Continuous improvement on the farming side is definitely where the focus needs to be," affirms Wayne du Toit, the company's General Manager. "One of our biggest challenges is broiler housing facilities that need to be upgraded, but it will give us the biggest improvement over the next two to three years."
