Africa-Press – Namibia. ONE can farm with anything as long as it is profitable and you are driven by passion. This is the belief of the organiser of the Oruharui SME Agricultural Mini Expo, held from 28 to 31 October in Okatjoruu in the Otjozondjupa Region.
Organiser Florence Handura said the expo offers farmers the opportunity to showcase innovative businesses ideas that can encourage other farmers to venture into something new.
She added that the event was also founded to bridge the gap between buyers and sellers in the agriculture industry in the area and boost the local economy there.
“The mini expo is to get young people off the streets and instead encourage them to turn to agribusiness as a means to put bread on the table,” said Handura.
Exhibitors showcased various products and projects, such as dog breeding, poultry products, fruits and vegetables. Handura has her own business and sells her chillie sauce, branded as a Namibian product.
According to her, it is “selling like hotcakes internationally too”. She said one cannot just make products and hope for the best. “Events such as this mini expo are unique selling platforms that promote farmers’ work and add value to it.” Handura said the expo was a great success and was well-attended.
