"Botswna has also stepped up efforts to improve poultry production mainly chicken and ostrich farming where it is rated as one of the bigest ostrich farming nations in the world.
A visiting expert from Kenya's Eastern and Southern Leather Industries Association, Dr Samuel Kiruthu, has said that lack of skills in Botswana to utilise abundant hides and skins - which if commercialised - can bring more income to farmers.
Dr Kiruthu said to prosper in the industry, Batswana should establish their own tanneries to produce quality products for domestic use, production of finished products rather than exporting them as raw materials."
