ELIJAH MUKUBONDA
Lucia Iipumbu, Minister of Industrialisation and Trade, recently inaugurated Vuche - Vuche Sifted White Maize Meal Warehouse at Kandjengedi in Oshakati. The new venture emanates from humble beginning with potential to contribute immensely to the transformation of the Namibian economy and further realize agricultural commodities in ensuring irreversible economic growth and development.
Iipumbu congratulated the initiative owned by former minister of health and social services – Dr. Richard Kamwi and encouraged him to soar the business to greater heights. The “Growth at Home” strategy will continue to propel growth of agricultural commodities to drive economic prosperity and food security.
At the core of such an admirable ingenuity, is need to trigger a commodity-based industrialization as the engine of growth and economic transformation to advance industrialization and structural trade and industry makeover through value addition strategies in all sectors, but particularly in agriculture and agro-processing, fish processing and in mining and mineral beneficiation.
The Government through the Ministry of Industrialisation and Trade (MIT) continues to recognize the vital role that the Small and Micro Enterprise (SME) play in the social-economic development of the country in strengthening national value chains and creating more efficient linkages within the economy.
The programmes of MIT are geared to ensure visible impact through tangible improvements in terms of the capacity of our local industries to produce efficiently and competitively as well as in the socio-economic welfare of the citizens of the country through employment and business opportunities.
