Livestock farmers now have a reason to smile after the ban that had been placed on meat by the government of Kuwait was lifted. The ban was imposed by Kuwait on November 8, 2018, after questions over quality and standards of meat were raised. Yesterday, livestock PS Harry Kimutai welcomed the move saying it will encourage stakeholders in livestock sub-sector to continue improving the quality of animals, transport facilities and general observation of good agricultural and animal welfare. The PS said meat exports to Kuwait has been rising. The population and housing census revealed a massive livestock resource of 3.4 million exotic cattle, 14.1 million indigenous cattle, 17.1 million sheep, 27.7 million goats, 2.9 million camels, 25.8 million indigenous, chicken and 6.1 million exotic chicken.
