California-based cattle ranch operator Rolls International/Harris Ranch, won the bid ahead of three other tenders earlier this year to take over Yaqara Pastoral Company Ltd.

Ministry of Public Enterprise chief executive officer Parmesh Chand said a Cabinet sub-committee on investment chaired by Prime Minister Laisenia Qarase was expected to meet today to discuss a paper on the successful lessee, so the offer could be translated into an agreement reflecting key performance indicators.

Mr Chand said Rolls International/Harris Ranch would lease Yaqara farm as part of a private and public partnership in an effort to boost cattle farming for local consumption.
