The University of Namibia's (UNAM) Vice-Chancellor has given assurance of plans that could help resuscitate the Kalimbeza Rice Project, saying it should not fail while the university, with all its experience, is there.

The Kalimbeza Rice Project in the Zambezi Region remains dormant due to a lack of funds.

This is despite the project having been bailed out in 2020 when the Ministry of Agriculture spent N$7.1 million to keep it running.
