Leading the meat industry in Botswana with quality and sustainability.
The Botswana Meat Commission (BMC) was established in 1965 and has since become a cornerstone of Botswana’s agricultural economy. Situated in Lobatse, the BMC plays a pivotal role in the meat industry, focusing on the export of high-quality beef and related products. With a strong commitment to sustainability and quality, the BMC ensures that its products meet international standards, thereby enhancing Botswana’s reputation in the global meat market. The commission operates several abattoirs and processing plants, which are equipped with state-of-the-art technology to maintain the highest hygiene and safety standards.
Over the years, the BMC has expanded its operations to include a wide range of services, from livestock procurement to meat processing and distribution. It serves as a critical link between Botswana’s cattle farmers and international markets, providing a stable platform for the country’s beef exports. The BMC is not only a commercial entity but also a significant contributor to Botswana’s socio-economic development, supporting local farmers and creating numerous employment opportunities. Through strategic partnerships and continuous innovation, the BMC aims to maintain its leadership in the meat industry while promoting sustainable agricultural practices.
