Namibia plans to position itself to unlock a new frontier of economic growth through developing a salmon farming industry.
 

Some fish farmers in Kavango East have now resorted to letting their fish feed on the plant material found in and around the ponds for six months. 

Farmers say they are unable to secure subsidised fish feed from the government due to shortages. 

Drought conditions and the absence of locally produced fish feed continue to hamper the aquaculture sector.
 
A fish farmer in the Musanga area of the Zambezi Region is appealing to the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries, Water, and Land Reform to reinstate the procurement of fish feed.
 

In the drive for economic diversification and job creation, one farmer in the Omusati Region is branching out, moving from the soil to water.

At Ombandjele village, a new fish farming initiative is not only putting fresh food on the table but is also casting a net of opportunity for the youth.

Namibia has identified key sectors where women and youth have a competitive advantage, such as agriculture, aquaculture, cosmetics, and the textiles sector.

The Cosmetics and Essential oil sectors have advanced in terms of production domestically.
