Furthermore, as an Association, we are calling on all relevant security agents to strengthen the security safety net while all stakeholders in the livestock production sector should work together as partners to deny criminal elements safe habitation as safety and security is a collective responsibility to ensure the threat to food safety and security is mitigated.
