The livestock sub-sector accounts for about 14% of agricultural output and 1% of total GDP. Traditionally this sector is dominated by the production of cattle. The country has a great potential which is relatively unexploited especially on Swazi Nation Land (SNL) where 83% of the country’s livestock is reared. Government is now putting more emphasis on promoting commercialisation of smallholder farmers on SNL. This is expected to assist in achieving the government millennium development goals of food security, poverty alleviation, increasing rural incomes and generating employment. The objective of this assignment is to prepare a Livestock Development and Marketing Legislative Framework that will support the sustainable development of the livestock sector and enforce compliance with established policies and regulations guiding the development of all sub-sectors of the livestock industry.
