Beyond crop production at the Etunda Green Scheme, the government is investing in livestock value addition through the construction of the Etunda Feedlot Project.
The construction is expected to be completed in September this year.
The feedlot is expected to enhance the quality and market value of cattle while strengthening the country’s beef industry.
This was revealed during President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah’s recent visit to the Green Scheme, where progress was assessed on several agricultural projects.
This includes grape and banana plantations and the ongoing construction of the Etunda Feedlot, all of which are expected to contribute to economic growth while reducing Namibia’s dependence on imported food products.
