The 10th annual Opuwo Trade Fair has kicked off but at a slow pace.

So far the trade fair only attracted about a hundred visitors since the gates opened on Monday.

There are 123 exhibitors participating at the trade fair, showcasing unique products made in Opuwo.

The Council also incorporated a career fair, boxing bonanza, cultural and tourism expo and the Miss Opuwo Beauty pageant.

The Ondangwa Trade and Industrial Exhibition has transformed into one of Namibia's primary trade exhibitions, with the organisers succeeding in positioning the event as a prime nationally recognised event.

These were the remarks of Trade and Industrialization Minister Lucia Iipumbu when she officially opened the 10th edition of the Ondangwa Trade and Industrial Exhibition.

This year's expo brought together over 200 local exhibitors.

Ondangwa Mayor Paavo Amwele says the expo has grown over the years.
