Namibia: FNB Namibia Supports Agri Outlook Conference

9 October 2018

FNB Namibia has joined Agricultural Outlook Conference 2018 with a sponsorship of N$50 000.

Christo Viljoen, Head of FNB Agri says the theme of the conference, Ignite growth in Agriculture, the basis for job creation and value addition, is of vital importance in and to Namibia, especially in light of the current economic climate, job losses and land debates. "Agriculture in our country can and will always be one of the main drivers of our economy, if handled properly and professionally. We have a huge country which offers great potential, and ranges from farming with more 'hardy' animals and fruit like dates and table grapes in the south, to the North of Namibia where crops and vegetables which might need more water could and should be grown. The potential is endless and could lead to many more employment opportunities, exports and contribution to Namibia's GDP."
