Ruto explained that the initiative aims to enhance the standards of exported meat, making it more competitive in international markets. He announced a collaborative effort between the national government and Narok County to establish a state-of-the-art cooperative meat processing facility dedicated to exporting meat globally.

"Here in Narok, your governor, Patrick Ole Ntutu, has secured partnerships and funding, and the national government is also contributing resources. This will make Narok home to the largest meat processing plant for exports. But can we export diseased meat?" Ruto asked. He further emphasized that vaccination would remain optional, leaving the decision to livestock owners.

This program underlines the government’s commitment to boosting the agricultural sector and opening up more opportunities for local farmers in the global market.
