Livestock

The Kalungwishi Breeding Centre in Lunte District has been stocked with Boran cattle and serves as a breeding centre aimed at providing high-quality livestock to farmers in the province and across Zambia. The government also plans to introduce goat breeding at the centre to meet the increasing demand for livestock, both locally and for export.[5]
