Promoting pig farming is a path highly suitable for East Africa, and Ernst plans to make pork one of the main meat consumptions in East Africa's future.
As for beef and lamb, East African ranching faces higher risks compared to other countries. In other nations like the United States, Argentina, Europe, and Asia, most ranches are in mid-to-high latitudes with relatively mild climates, notably the 40 to 50 degrees north and south latitudes, known as the "Golden Prairie Belt."
African grasslands, however, span along the equator, forming unique sparse savannahs. The primary challenge for East African ranching is pest and disease, with the tsetse fly being a significant issue. The only way to handle the tsetse fly is through manual care and maintenance.
