Namibia is ready to export beef to Hong Kong after a food and livestock safety audit carried out last month (May) by the Hong Kong Centre for Food Safety.
Despite Namibia experiencing its worst drought in 30 years, beef and cattle producers’ prospects have improved, with a recent relaxation of cross-border trade laws with Angola.
The beef trade in Namibia decreased by 28.8% in the first six months of 2012, the Meat Board of Namibia has revealed in its six-monthly review, with exports “significantly lower” than the same period in 2011.
