He is the right candidate for the position, given his skills, positive attitude and knowledge in the agriculture industry.<\/p>\n<p>We know it\u2019s a challenging position, but we believe Mr Shamathe has the ability to take the NNFU to greater heights\u201d, Muremi added.

Cooperation and collaboration among stakeholders is needed in order to achieve significant improvements in communal farming,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI acknowledge that communal farming is the most challenging farming system in Namibia.
