| Although Namibia is known as the driest
country in Africa south of the Sahara, it is possible to produce, although
on a limited scale, staple foods such as pearl millet, maize, wheat,
sorghum, sunflower and beans. As most products are produced under rain-fed
conditions, yields and the resulting profitability is dependent on
the prevailing climate, especially rainfall. Crop failures are therefore
quite common and have a negative influence on the promotion of crop
production in this country. |

| Namibian Grain Processors Association
(NGPA) |
| The Agronomic Board renders administrative
assistance to the Namibian Grain Processors Association. This body
came into existence on 26 March 2002 consisting of 13 members (millers).
This forum serves two purposes. Firstly, to consult with stakeholders
and, to address and put forward related issues and conclusions of the
staple food processing industry. Secondly, the Association serves as
a form for representation on the Namibian Agronomic Board. |
