Jagbedryf skep duisende werksgeleenthede

Sluit ook ander voordele in
Namibië is die tuiste van ongeveer 300 jagplase en sowat 600 geregistreerde jaggidse.
Ellanie Smit
Namibië se jagbedryf speel ’n beduidende rol in die nasionale ekonomie en dra wesenlik tot beide werkverskaffing en inkomste by.

Gegewe die ekonomiese groei wat Namibië die afgelope jare getoon het, word voorspel dat die jagbedryf vanjaar ongeveer 16 126 werksgeleenthede sal skep.

Volgens die Namibiese Professionele Jagtersvereniging (Napha) weerspieël hierdie groei die voortdurende belangrikheid van jag as ekonomiese aktiwiteit.

Napha sê Namibië is die tuiste van ongeveer 300 jagplase en sowat 600 geregistreerde jaggidse. Dit sluit jaggidse, meesterjaggidse, professionele jagters en grootwild- professionele jagters in. Dit het ’n 90% koers van afhanklikheid wat daarop dui dat ongeveer 30 600 mense direk deur die jagbedryf geraak word.

Napha het ook verwys na ’n verslag wat in 2015 gepubliseer is wat aandui dat veral trofeejag in Namibië aansienlik tot die ekonomie bydra en glo jaarliks sowat N$350 miljoen genereer.

“Volgens die opname wat onder eienaars van landbougrond uitgevoer is, maak ongeveer 69,3% van diegene wat jag op hul grond toelaat, grootliks staat op die inkomste wat hulle uit hierdie aktiwiteit gegenereer.”

Napha het ook gesê dat die oorblywende grondeienaars afhanklik is van beide wild- en vee-gebaseerde inkomstestrome. Die vereniging meen dat veral plase wat bees- en wildbedrywighede kombineer, twee keer soveel mense in diens het as dié wat op beesboerdery fokus.

WERKSKEPPING

Die ministerie van die omgewing, bosbou en toerisme het destyds bekend gemaak dat jag in Namibië verantwoordelik was vir die skep van 15 000 werksgeleenthede in 2015.

Dié werksgeleenthede sluit in werk op kommunale en private grond sowel as ondersteunende nywerhede soos taksidermie.

Volgens Napha toon hierdie syfers die belangrike rol wat dié bedryf in die skep van werksgeleenthede in landelike gebiede speel.

Napha het verder gesê hoewel dit moeilik is om ’n presiese bevolkingsyfer vir die 55 aktiewe jagbewaringsgebiede in Namibië te verskaf, is dit duidelik dat die gemeenskappe binne hierdie gebiede sterk aangewese is op die vleis en finansiële ondersteuning wat deur trofeejag verskaf word.

ANDER VOORDELE

Die vereniging meen dat die voordele van die jagbedryf verder strek as die direkte ekonomiese impak, aangesien jagters Namibië dikwels saam met familie en vriende besoek.

“Hierdie toerisme ondersteun nie net die land se kommersiële toerismesektor, insluitend gastehuise, lodges en restaurante nie, maar dra ook tot die indiensneming van werkers in hierdie sektore by.”

Napha het gesê dit is veral opmerklik dat Namibië volgens statistieke van 2022 slegs sowat 3 200 trofeejagters per jaar huisves.

“Ten spyte van hierdie relatief klein getal, is die impak van elke trofeejagter groot, aangesien elke besoeker ten volle vir die lewensbestaan ​​van meer as nege Namibiërs betaal.”

Napha het ook gesê dat dit die breër ekonomiese en maatskaplike voordele van die jagbedryf beklemtoon, wat ’n belangrike rol in die ondersteuning van gemeenskappe en die bewaring van Namibië se wilderfenis speel.
