Agronomic Board's market share promotion scheme to come into force next month

The increase of the Namibian Agronomic Board's horticulture market share promotion scheme will come into force next month. The scheme allows traders to source a minimum percentage of local produce before an import permit is issued in a bid to control horticultural products beyond Namibia's borders. The Namibian Agronomic Board at its meeting on 3 August approved the three percentage points increase of the Market Share Promotion from 44% to 47%.
