Botswana Prison Agriculture Officers urged to boost farm productivity

Botswana Prison Service Agriculture Officers have been urged to raise the bar high in order to improve production in prison farms.

Speaking during a consultative meeting with the Officers today at the Prison Staff College, Mahalapye, Commissioner of Prisons – Commissioner Dinah Marathe advised that agriculture is a discipline of practice driven by passion and love. She said farming is a peculiar undertaking altogether, where production can only be measured by the completion of tasks at hand.

Commissioner Marathe highlighted that through the Food Security Strategy, the Prison Service has made a commitment to the Government to ensure food security as well as reduce expenditure on feeding prisoners. She, therefore, challenged the Officers to introspect, re-apply themselves and focus on implementing the strategy.

The Commissioner reiterated that agriculture in prisons should be perceived as a business enterprise which is able to generate income for itself. She said the Government should be able to gain returns on the resources injected into the Service, hence the need for measuring and monitoring performance to ensure that there is a return on investment.

She said proper record keeping, target setting, and reconciliation are critical in value chain development, as emphasised by the National Priority Areas and the Commissionerโ€™s Roadmap.

She said the Service’s efforts to shift to modern farming are evidenced by the recent introduction of protected farming and drip irrigation, as well as the acquisition of pedigree and top genetics of breeding stock across various prison farms.

She indicated that the expectation is that operations should improve for the Service to attain quality prisoner training and food production with the aim of starting agro-processing in order to preserve excess produce.

Commissioner Marathe further implored the officers to embrace constant communication and effective internal collaborations to create synergies for better service delivery. She encouraged them to always work as a team, share ideas and tap from each otherโ€™s skills and talents.

Meanwhile, the Commissioner cautioned the officers against unprofessional relationships with the prisoners, resulting in infiltration of contraband into the prisons. She said some of the contraband find its way into the facilities from the farms and gardens. She, therefore, implored them to be always vigilant and follow the standard operations procedures for guidance.
