Opportunity for Expansion of Namibia’s Poultry Sector

The Namibian poultry industry was severely affected Covid-19 restrictions, but there is still ample opportunity for expansion in the sector.
Namibia is dependent on imports, but looking to the future, René Werner, chairperson of the Namibia Poultry Producers’ Association, said opportunities exist for Namibia to grow its poultry sector and to move closer to self-sufficiency. Farmers Weekly reports that, according to Werner, there is ample opportunity for new investment in the industry. The country’s 6 egg producers, which are all located near the cities of Windhoek and Okahandja close to markets, feed, and other input suppliers, market about 100 million eggs per year.
