DIVERSIFIED local firm, Raymeg Consultants Private Limited continues to embrace the Government’s value addition thrust by introducing rabbit biltong as part of their range of products.
The company has interests in strategic communication, farming, retail, and the real estate sectors.
Raymeg executive director Mrs Paidamoyo Nyamakanga whose organisation was formed a few years ago said they have decided to continue on a vertical integration opening rabbit grills where a variety of rabbit meat dishes are served.
“We then decided to also value-add rabbit meat products and we started off by making rabbit meat pies, rabbit sausage rolls and rabbit sausages.
“We have different kinds of flavours and rabbit polony which is the first of its kind globally and now we are making rabbit biltong the first of its kind in Zimbabwe yet again — we have not had countries that are making rabbit biltong throughout the world,” she said.
The Government has urged all stakeholders in farming to invest more in value addition for both crop and livestock value chains to boost the overall performance of the agriculture sector which is expected to grow to a US$13,75 billion industry by next year.
In 2021, the sector hit the initial target of US$8,2 billion underpinned by improved productivity and production across all the sub-sectors.
