The Namibian poultry industry production value reached N$1.74 billion in 2024, representing a 13.47% increase from the N$1.5 billion recorded in 2023, the Namibian Poultry Producers Association (PPA) has revealed.

The sector now stands as the second-largest contributor to Namibia’s agricultural production, trailing only the cattle industry, which recorded an estimated N$3.2 billion in 2024.

“The production value of the poultry industry was N$1.74 billion, growing by 13.47% from the N$1.5 billion recorded in 2023. Poultry was estimated to be the second-largest contributor to agricultural production value in 2023, following the cattle sector that recorded about N$3.2 billion,” said PPA Chairperson Louise Kleynhans.

A significant milestone was reached in 2024 with the gazetting of poultry and poultry products, including eggs, under the Meat Industry Act, now referred to as the Livestock and Livestock Products Act.

This legislative change mandates the Livestock and Livestock Product Board of Namibia (LLPBN) to regulate the poultry sector, ensuring sustainable growth and alignment with Namibia’s national objectives for increased production and value addition.

“This legislative change mandates the Livestock and Livestock Product Board of Namibia to regulate the poultry sector and to ensure that the sector realizes growth, therefore contributing to Government’s national objectives of increased production and value addition,” Kleynhans said.

In an effort to strengthen local production, the Namibia Standards Institute has introduced poultry meat standards, which are expected to be gazetted in 2025.

Additionally, new players have entered the market, including Khadila Poultry in Osona, which began operations in October 2024. With an estimated production capacity of over 400 metric tonnes per month, Khadila Poultry is set to reduce Namibia’s reliance on imports. Other key industry players have also expanded their production, further contributing to the sector’s steady growth.

“Adding to improved local production, other key players have also expanded production,” Kleynhans said.

Despite these advancements, Namibia continues to import between 2,000 to 2,500 tonnes of poultry meat monthly..
