The Minister of Livestock and Fisheries, Mashimba Ndaki revealed this on Wednesday when he was briefing reporters over the project as he encouraged youths to apply for programme which will be carried in Tanga, Mwanza and Kagera regions.
The Minister said it was President Samia Suluhu Hassan’s interest to see that the group is empowered for self-employment through the livestock, given the fact that the sector has so many opportunities to grab.

“A total of 240 young people who are set to be enrolled for the programme will be educated on how to do commercial breeding…,” he noted.
The Minister added that the commercial breeding would help local industries to get raw materials while the established centres act as a catalyst for revolutionizing the sector.
