Since 2020, Chinese experts have partnered with their counterparts in Botswana to introduce drought-resistant rice varieties in the country. Initial trials show yields of at least 3.5 tons per hectare, boosting harvests. Plans are underway to distribute seeds across the country.
African Agriculture supports Botswana’s farmers with reliable and locally assembled tractors implemented under its trusted brand, Bhero. Over the past few months, the company has been on an incredible journey, delivering essential tools to farming communities across the nation.
From the rolling fields of the Kgatleng District to the vast plains of the Central District, Bhero tractors are transforming the way agriculture is practiced in Botswana. Each delivery is more than just a transaction – it’s a step towards empowering local farmers to increase productivity and embrace modern farming techniques.
African Agriculture’s recent deliveries included a fleet of versatile Bhero tractors and plowing implements to small-scale farmers in Serowe, helping them prepare their land efficiently for the upcoming plowing season. Meanwhile, a commercial farmer in Maun received a heavy-duty Bhero tractor equipped with a disc harrow, perfect for managing large tracts of farmland.
Why Bhero? As a locally assembled product, Bhero tractors are designed with Botswana’s farming conditions in mind. They are durable, easy to maintain, and cost-effective, ensuring every farmer – big or small – can achieve their goals.
By choosing Bhero, farmers are not just investing in quality; they’re supporting local industry and contributing to the growth of Botswana’s agriculture sector.
