PROJECT # 0038

Namibia, Developing Rehoboth Fodder Production & Feedlot Facility with a View to Export Meat, Beef and Lamb Within and Outside the SADC Region

Located in central Namibia, Rehoboth is a city with access to B1 main road that is part of the Cape-to-Cairo transportation gateway. It is situated 90 km south of the capital city Windhoek and its international airport, and 300 km away from the port of Walvis Bay.

The project aims at developing an integrated fodder production & beef feedlot facility to provide Rehoboth Abattoir, currently being upgraded to international standards, with beef & lamb in quantity aligned to its increased production capacities. The feedlot facility is to include its own production of fodder on a 40ha irrigated land. The project will contribute to increase the supply of meat, beef and lamb within and outside the SADC region.
