Today we had another meeting with a few of the Ministry of Agriculture people to discuss the training. They explained some of the stuff they want to talk about, and we gave them some more details and talked about ideas that we are considering to improve the model.
One of the ideas we are now considering is paying our farmers based on live weight. You may recall that I mentioned that we have a unique situation at our abattoir (here). Tinashe is now thinking that it will be easier for our farmers to grasp if we simply pay them based on the live weight of the chickens when we take them. Then Kumbula (the marketing company) would pay the processing and packaging fees.
Unfortunately, the Ministry of Agriculture had to delay the training for two weeks. So it will now take place during the first week of April. Some things we just can't fix.
