The Board stressed that blocking such transactions without legal grounds would harm Namibia\u2019s credibility as a reliable trading partner.<\/p>\n<p>While acknowledging concerns about reduced throughput at local abattoirs, the LLPBN said the export was approved within the allowable threshold to ensure alignment with the country\u2019s \u201cGrowth at Home\u201d strategy and to safeguard local processing capacity.<\/p>\n<p>The Board further noted that Namibia\u2019s livestock sector operates within a free-market system, allowing supply and demand to guide trade, while ensuring minimal regulatory interference. By opening access to international markets, farmers are able to benefit from competitive pricing, strengthening the resilience of the agricultural value chain.<\/p>\n<p>The LLPBN reaffirmed its commitment to promoting local value addition while also positioning Namibia as a premium global supplier of livestock, adding that the Mauritius export reflects confidence in the country\u2019s high veterinary standards and is not intended to disadvantage the domestic meat industry.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Namibia<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Namibia.
