The Namibia Grape Company expects an improved harvest this year. This is after losing nearly 160 cartons of grapes to poor rainfall.

Managing Director Gideon Nuunyango told nbc News that more local people could be employed on a part-time basis.

The Aussenkehr Valley is known for its exceptionally long hours of sunshine, which allows the Namibian company to produce earlier in the season than most other grape-producing countries.

This gives Namibian grapes a significant price advantage in the European Union and other markets.
