WINDHOEK, Dec 11 (Reuters) - Namibia s state-owned meat
processing and marketing firm Meatco said on Friday it expects
to slaughter 66% less meat in 2020 due to a shortage of cattle
following a devastating drought in 2019 that decimated herds.
Agriculture contributes about 5% to Namibia’s economy but
farming including cattle raising contributes to nearly
two-thirds of the population’s income.
“During the 2019 financial year we slaughtered over 116,000
head of cattle. 2020 has been a difficult year, because by the
end of the 2020/21 financial year we would most likely only have
slaughtered approximately 39,000 head of cattle,” Meatco
Chairperson Johnnie Hamman said.
