September 2028 of Tiisa farm in Ghanzi which will be used for training farmers.

He said the New Zealand partner would refurbish the training facility within three months of signing the MOA.

“This will be a training centre which will be used for training Ghanzi farmers and nearby Villages, he said.

Ghanzi South legislator Mr Motsamai Motsamai had wanted to know if the minister would consider dividing Xanagas research farm into a rural training centre since the current training centres were far away from Xanagas. ENDS
