the youth to learn various practices in cattle farming that can be profitable.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the products that will be expected to bear profit apart from dairy include horns, hides and other parts that are usually thrown away after slaughter.<\/p>\n<p>It is expected that hides will from now on be used in making car seats for locally assembled Volkswagen vehicles while horns and bones will be used to decorate the vehicles\u2019 dashboards.<br \/>\nCow fat will be used to make tires and lubricants and the cattle\u2019s bile will be used in making diabetes medicines.<\/p>\n<p>Kampeta Sayinzoga, NIRDA Director General says that the new program aims at helping farmers diversify cattle production through technology. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe program will include competitions that will grant winners loans with no interest in order to support them in diversifying cattle production.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Minister of Trade and Industry, Soraya Hakuziyaremye who attended the launch of \u2018CowInTheCar\u2019 says that the program comes to support the already existing Made in Rwanda initiative. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor slaughter houses owners, more profit will be deducted from hides and this will allow Rwanda to stop importing hides from abroad.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>The program also comes as a solution to leather manufacturers who had to order hides from abroad given that hides from Rwanda are not well tanned and processed. <\/p>\n<p>Registration to the program will end on February 10th, 2019.<\/p>\n<p>The program was launched in partnership with the Trade and Development Bank and OCP Africa.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"spip-document spip-document-33938 aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/en-images.igihe.com\/jpg\/1a0a2574-928d1.jpg\" alt=\"The National
