Gako Livestock Farm

In early 2015, APTC launched a flagship project aimed at boosting quality meat production for both local and export markets. This initiative was designed to strengthen the supply chain for Rugari Meat Processing Industries while serving as a model farm for cattle fattening.

Currently, Gako Farm operates under a project-based approach during its incubation period. Once successfully implemented and scaled, the project aims to evolve into an independent company under APTC. The farm focuses on cattle and goat fattening, utilizing feed rationing to monitor animal health and growth. This approach reduces reliance on imports from Kenya and South Africa, saving the country significant foreign exchange.

Looking ahead, we are expanding our vision to export meat products to the region. Strong leadership at home has fostered excellent relations with Central African countries, creating a promising export market. Additionally, the availability of RwandAir flights to destinations like Congo Brazzaville provides an enabling environment for international trade.
