Verna Sinimbo. The launch event, hosted by GS1 Namibia, introduced the 631 prefixes that will uniquely identify Namibian-originated products through the first three digits on the barcode.<\/p>\n<p>Prior to the implementation of the National Bar Code system, Namibia had been utilizing the South African Bar Code, leading to Namibian products being identified as South African in the global market.<\/p>\n<p>During her keynote address at the launch event, Hon. Sinimbo expressed a strong sense of progress and acknowledged the significant strides the country has made since gaining independence. She emphasized that the introduction of the GS1 system signifies Namibia\u2019s economic resilience and marks its growth from a young nation to an influential player in global trade.<\/p>\n<p>The Deputy Minister also highlighted that the launch of the National Bar Code system is a testament to the spirit of Namibian entrepreneurs, manufacturers, and innovators who have dared to dream, break boundaries, and propel the nation forward on the world stage of global trade.<\/p>\n<p>With the new National Bar Code system in place, Namibian products will now be uniquely identified with the 631 prefix, enabling them to stand out in the international market and gain the rightful recognition they deserve. This development is expected to positively impact Namibia\u2019s export efforts and elevate the country\u2019s visibility on the global trade map.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/namibia\">Namibia<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Namibia.
