The Namibian Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries, Water and Land Reform (MAFWLR) extended the application deadline for agricultural equipment to October 16, 2026, following high demand from farmers across all 14 regions.

To support local producers, the government allocated N$40 million to purchase grain from subsistence, small-scale, and medium-scale farmers through the Agro-Marketing and Trade Agency (AMTA). While the initiative aims to assist those struggling with market access, ministry spokesperson Romeo Muyunda noted that the funds might not cover all grain currently in storage. Stakeholders have called for competitive pricing and a long-term procurement framework to ensure future stability.
