Meat Perfection Defined

Botswana is a leader in cattle identification and traceability with cattle implanted rumen boluses, which unique electronic radio frequency devices which are scanned to provide animal history back to the National Data Base. This ensures consumer confidence based on world’s based practice. From the .unique number of each carton, we are able to trace the meat back to the specific farm. BMC products are Halaal as supervised certified by the Botswana Muslim Association.
The Botswana cattle industry uses free range and natural farming methods, which ensure full – flavoured, lean beef of highest quality. Botswana ‘s land and its sub- tropical and semi-arid climate is ideally suited for cattle farming . The country boasts of between 2.5 to 2.8 million head of cattle

Botswana Meat Commission (BMC) was established on the 24th December 1965, by an act of Parliament to promote the development of the country’s beef and related products globally.

The first abattoir was opened in Lobatse with Maun and Francistown Abattoirs following in 1983 and 1989 respectively. The Maun Abattoir was closed indefinitely in 1996 due to shortage of cattle supply and re-opened in April 2010. The BMC has had a significant contribution to the development of the country over the years.

In the early years of Botswana’s development as an independent nation, beef export was the only foreign exchange earner.

Although beef is no longer the largest earner of foreign exchange, it nonetheless remains important to the economy as it has different impact on the furfural population who rely on farming for their livelihood. BMC head office in Lobatse comprises an integrated complex housing an Abattoir, deboning and cutting plant, cannery, rendering plant and tannery
