The King’s Project, located in Okashana Kuukongo waNehale in the Oshikoto region, is set to harvest roughly 200 tons of potatoes in its first season.
During the official inauguration of the potato harvest, a farmer announced that they anticipate yielding around 200 tons in this initial harvest.
“This initiative, supported by King Fillemon Shuumbwa, has transformed land of approximately 100 hectares to produce food for the nation and reduce import reliance,” he explained.
The farmer emphasised that a country unable to produce its food cannot progress, as it remains dependent on food imports.
Regarding employment, the project has hired 100 workers from the surrounding area.
