The 2016 Bureau of Food and Agriculture Policy (BFAP) Outlook Conference stated that 2016 was perhaps the most challenging year for Namibian farmers and the agricultural industry as a whole. For Meatco, 2017 was similarly expected to be challenging for Namibian cattle farmers in a post-drought year. With Namibia having slid into a “technical” recession, the agricultural industry has not been spared of hardship either.
Meatco has come a long way with many highs and we remain ready to do what we know best: To assist where we can and to ensure that the journey continues by honouring all responsibilities towards our producers.
