Importing water, chicken and toothpicks exposes Namibia’s industrialisation illusion
EDITORIAL
Namibia spent N$53.4 million importing chicken in August. This is difficult to reconcile with the country’s ambitions to expand domestic production and create jobs.
Chicken is one of the most accessible sources of protein for many Namibians. Local producers, including Namib Poultry Industries, have expanded domestic slaughtering capacity. Yet the country continues to import frozen poultry from Brazil, the United States, Poland and South Africa.
The problem extends beyond poultry. Recent agronomy and horticulture assessments indicate that up to 96% of the fruit consumed in Namibia is imported.
