The Standard Bank will hold a Biomass Fair 2023 from September 7 to September 9 at Okahandja.

The fair aims to promote the booming biomass sector in Namibia.

Bush biomass is organic matter that is from the bush and can be used for value chains such as energy, production, and bush feeds.

The CEO of Namibia Biomass Industry Group, Progress Kashandula, says Namibia is impacted by bush encroachment, and when approached correctly, it can lead to increased livestock production, groundwater recharge, employment, and biodiversity.
