There are high prospects that Malawi and Namibia will establish policies that will allow agriculture exchange programmes between the two countries.<\/p>\n
The revelations were made during a week-long visit the Namibia National Farmers Union (NNFU) paid to Malawi recently.<\/p>\n
The team was in the country to appreciate various schemes being implemented in the country.<\/p>\n
NNFU president, Jason Emvula, said that the two countries can work together to boost agriculture sector\u2019s contribution to their national economies.<\/p>\n
He highlighted that Malawi can complement Namibia\u2019s sector by providing seeds and the needed expertise while Namibia can supply Malawi with livestock.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat we want is to learn how to produce different crops through irrigation. You know that Namibia is a very dry country and there are parts of the country where we are implementing irrigation projects,\u201d Emvula said.<\/p>\n
He said, in return, Malawi can learn how to breed cattle for both domestic and commercial purposes.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe also have seen that Malawi has a small beef market which we can easily help grow by bringing some of the breeds that are common in our country,\u201d Emvula added.<\/p>\n
Farmers Union of Malawi President, Alfred Kapichira- Banda, said the two countries can easily complement each other.<\/p>\n
\u201cOnly a few players are supplying meat against the huge demand that is there. Working with our friends from Namibia can easily reverse the current market trends,\u201d Banda said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
