In 2016, the state government had distributed 3 goats each to over 600 women under the state’s goats multiplication farming programme to empower women and reduce poverty rate in the state.
“As soon as we have enough of these goats we will export them to Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, just to mention a few.
“Now we have large number of goats which in the next few months or years we will be able to export the necessary requirements to Kuwait,” he said.
