Ministry John Mutorwa with FAOR and NNFU President The opening session started with the arrival of the Ministry of Agriculture, Water and Forestry Hon. John Mutorwa. Farmers. Hon. Ministry John Mutorwa with FAOR and NNFU President Openning Session : Delegates listening to the opening statements of Hon. Ministry John Mutorwa. NNFU President Mr. Pintile Davids The NNFU President Mr. Pintile Davids openned this Congress with a speech that raised some issues. He believes that this Congress would have permitted to guide NNFU to reposition itself in changing national and global environment for the promotion of agricultural development. With the mention of a last formal appearance and statement as NNFU president Mr. Pintile Davids in a first part agreed and acknowledged that there were a lot of changes, development and challenges that have characterized the agricultural landscape since the independence of the country. He is grateful to all who Source of the picture: New Era Newspaper contributed and effected those visible changes. However with an average of 4% of declining performance of the agricultural GDP over the last few years Mr. Pintile Davids decided before passing the micro to Hon. John Mutorwa to raise some issues and appreciations: • NNFU Relationship with GRN: “NNFU (…) is still enjoying blessing and support. I must express our sincere appreciation for that” • Recognition and Contribution of Agriculture: UN and AU declared that 2014 is the year of Family Farming and Household Food Security, which is a clear demonstration that Agriculture is placed at the center and can from now enjoy a full support globally. • Policy and Legislation: He raised the fact that the country needs to see consistent, sustainable, coordinated, harmonized, comprehensive policies, strategies and legislative framework. (Based on NDP’s and VISON 2030) • Extension and service delivery: Even if Namibia is one of the few African country who provide extension and veterinary services, NNFU would like to appeal for more Vets, veterinary inspectors, extension officers, etc. Although that NNFU appreciate the Government efforts so far made • Drought: He wanted to show that Namibia needs a proper national respond against drought. In fact even if there is a Drought Policy Strategy in the country since 1997 the “incentive scheme on livestock came late and many farmers who relied on the money to save the rest of the herd failed to do so and in fact some are still waiting for their payouts”. • Levies: Mr. Pintile Davids said that with the current low prices for livestock (both abattoirs and auctions) they would not be in position to accept and condone any further increase in levies. For that precise reason he called for a viguros intervention from all parties affected in the industry. • Ear Tags: There are no major issues with the envisage price adjustments. • Export Restrictions to South Africa: Outcomes will affect directly Namibia’s economy. He appealed the Government for direct engagement with counterpart in SA to deal with the matter at political level. • Land Reform and Resettlement: The main point of his speech is a second official call to the Head of State and Minister MLR to Review Land Reform Conference as soon as possible to take stock of what happened and make new recommendations. • Access to Agricultural Credit: The fact is that the banking sector is only considering conventional forms of collateral, which is extremely difficult to fill for farmers. For that reason he called MAWF and AgriBank to intervene and roll out a comprehensive financing scheme that shall benefit farmers in the country. • Partner and stakeholders: He encouraged partners to not forget about the win-win basis that should continue. • NNFU members: He appealed members to continue in supporting and participating in activities and programmes in order to make the Union visible, vibrant with the aim to show a positive image Hon. John Mutorwa Hon. John Mutorwa was born in 1957 in Nyangana, Okavango Region. He is an active member of South West Africa People’s Organization (SWAPO). Moreover he is in the Cabinets of Hifikepunye Pohamba since 1992 and is today the Minister of Agriculture, water and forestry. During the Congress he made a really impressive honorable opening statement. However after many questions during Mr. Pintile Davids’ speech the Ministry of Agriculture decided to answer in a first part to the NNFU President before doing his Statements. For the answer that he gave to Mr. Pintile Davids, he confirmed that the Government is open and the Government always has its “doors-open”. With open-door policy; farmers, people have to be involve in what they are doing they have to trust in what they are doing. They have to speak and consult leaders he was speaking about “traditional leader”, “farmer leader”. The great Ministry insisted in the fact that people have to do things: “Do not wait a conference to speak, make a conference, make an appointment! Doors are always open”. His response is based on what MAWF is doing in accordance with the Government policies. There are many things that the Governments have done and shall continue: • “Make provision and installation of water treatment plants as an integral component of all irrigation water supply schemes” • “Promote and encourage conversation agriculture and ecologically compatible cropping systems” • “Promote and encourage highly adaptive and productive breeds of livestock I both communal and commercial areas” • “Promote and encourage highly adaptive and productive crop cultivars in dry-land or rain-fed crop farming system” • “Promote and encourage agricultural production to best maintain and improve household income” • “Promote sustainable management of rangelands and pastures through preparation and implementation of integrated rangeland management plans to avoid land degradation and deforestation” If we take a look the Statement, the Ministry of Agriculture underlined many times the fact that adjective and subjective descriptions are usually meaningless, “stop using those terms, small scale farmers, smallholder, etc.” we shall speak about FARMER – THE KEY TO FOOD SECURITY. Clichés are unhelpful for people. And people should adopt a positive attitude. After raising some issues such as the dependencies on traditional forms of Agriculture, the low land access that touches people in Namibia, etc. He decided to explain to people the Government policies overall development Agenda, that main point is: The Rural Development Policy Strategy. He believes that the current private sector under current land ownership or land tenure system will bring infrastructural development to Namibia’s Communal areas or rural areas. The Government must continue to do so.

The corona virus pandemic will, in the short to medium-term at least, severely affect economic performance and put significant strain on Namibia’s public finances which were already in poor shape. Efforts to get the economy through the immediate crisis will take precedence over efforts at reform. Namibia went into the global financial crisis in a relatively strong position from a fiscal and monetary point of view. This time is very different.
