Namibia Dairies, a subsidiary of the Ohlthaver & List Group, has made its first export shipment to Zimbabwe of Rietfontein Long Life juices, marking a significant milestone in the company’s history.
The products were dispatched in July, following nearly eight months of extensive discussions and groundwork with company partners and regulatory agencies to ensure compliance with all necessary export and import requirements.
The juices will be distributed and merchandised by Doltek, a trusted partner with 12 years of experience redistributing into the Zimbabwean market and the official distributor of Heineken and Namibian Breweries Limited in that country.
“We are incredibly excited and proud, but more than that, we are genuinely passionate about the opportunities this opens up for our company and our country. We aim to make this shipment the first of many, ideally opening the way for more of our products to find their way onto Zimbabwean shelves and into homes. This strategic move is not just about growth; it’s about our commitment to making a positive impact, ensuring long-term sustainability, and enhancing the livelihoods of our people,” said Wynand Oosthuizen, O&L Chief Operations Officer and Chairperson for Namibia Dairies.
The company said that by entering the Zimbabwean market, Namibia Dairies aims to bring its exceptional products to a new audience, contributing to regional trade and cooperation.
“This export not only represents a significant achievement for Namibia Dairies but also aligns with the company’s authentic commitment to expanding its market reach, enhancing economic ties, and caring for the communities it touches within the region,” Namibia Dairies added.
The Rietfontein Long Life Juices are a recent addition to Namibia Dairies’ product portfolio, launched under the company’s flagship nectar range.
Namibia Dairies, a subsidiary of the Ohlthaver & List (O&L) Group, is a leading producer of dairy products in Namibia.
