A Zimbabwean farm-union feature describes regulatory and policy hurdles facing the livestock sector, citing LMAC figures that primary livestock production makes up 22 percent of agricultural GDP. It highlights rules such as registration fees for grain and oilseed buyers under SI 147 of 2012 and SI 140 of 2013 that discourage local use of feed raw materials like maize, bran, soya cake and cotton cake.
Fees and rules that discourage local use of domestic feed ingredients could raise feed costs or shift sourcing toward imports for Zimbabwean livestock producers. The impact on international prices is limited.
