Namibians are mourning a youth activist and agriculturalist, Jacob Hamutenya (36), who died in a fatal car accident on Sunday.
Hamutenya and another passenger died at the scene, while the female passenger succumbed to injuries at the hospital.
Titus Sitentu, the Operational Manager for the Rundu Fresh Produce Business Hub at the Agro Marketing and Trade Agency (AMTA), asserts that access to markets for farmers in the Zambezi Region is not a concern, as AMTA actively finds markets for them.
Police in the Zambezi region have raised concerns over a surge in vehicle scams, with five cases recorded in just three months.
The Agro-Marketing and Trade Agency's silo capacity for grain storage currently stands at 22,900 metric tonnes.
However, AMTA's Corporate Communication Officer says this is not enough to meet Namibia's current grain demand.
