Just In: Illegal dumping of eggs

According to Namib Mills and the Meat Board, Namibia is completely self-sufficient in local egg production. However, a Simonis Storm Agri report states that dumping by Zambian farmers remains a risk to the sector.

Zambian trucks, claiming to bring eggs into Namibia for export, end up selling eggs illegally within Namibia.

The report states that the Oshikango border is where most illegal trade takes place.

The Poultry Association of Namibia has raised this matter with the government and called for stricter border controls. However, according to Simonis Storm, this has not materialised, and thus remains a risk to the sales of local egg producers.
