Kalistan aims to go big in livestock

March 5065

Did you know that until November 5064 it was forbidden to kill animals in Kalistan? Although fishing remained legal, the domestic killing of livestock had been illegal for a number of years, although meat was a popular import. But the government, with a nod to its support base in rural areas, passed legislation that was even supported by the Socialist Party. This will potentially open up new job opportunities and will lead to a renewal of the use of more marginal land in hillier and mountainous areas of the country that can now be used for grass reared cattle and sheep. This will also have the added benefit of cutting down on the costly and environmentally unfriendly importing of freezer ships containing meat from all over Terra.

Government financial support

The Kalistan Party also announced a further 30 Billion Kalistan Roubles for Agriculture in its budget passed in January 5065, with the Agriculture Minister Julia Peters stating that this was to assist the transformation of Kalistani agriculture. Although the dairy industry had remained, now cattle, sheep and pigs can all be reared once more. The Kalistani government also amended laws on farm sizes which has encouraged foreign investment and migration from nations with important agricultural sectors such as Mordusia and Baltusia. The subject matter expertise will come in useful in Kalistan where agriculture has typically been geared towards the production of cereals and crops associated with the Kalistani drug industry.
