Brand Assurance Schemes For some time now Namibia has been the preferred supplier to Woolworths and Pick and Pay for both beef and lamb. In order to benefit from these initiatives and gain from premiums set out by abattoirs exporting these branded products, producer specifications for partaking in the respective brand assurance schemes are available from the Meat Board and/or the respective abattoirs of Brukkaros and Meatco. It is crucial that producers adhere to these requirements, which do not differ much from the already applied requirements under the official FANMeat Scheme administered by the Meat Board of Namibia and the natural production environment of Namibia. Producers wishing to participate in the brand assurance schemes need to apply at the mentioned abattoirs and subject themselves to audits by the Meat Board.For more information contact Mr S van Zyl |
Exposure Trip - Marketing Trends The Meat Board, as part of its national obligation to inform farmers and keep them abreast of marketing trends, has undertaken an exposure trip with producers in the N-VCF and the S-VCF to learn more about and share experiences for better management of their livestock enterprises. The group consisted of chairpersons of regional marketing committees, regional councillors and extension officers from each region in the northern communal areas.The objective of the trip was to: • allow for in-depth discussion on various fields in livestock production and marketing, • improve networking among farmers on such occasions, • learn from existing and functional marketing committees in other regions, • appreciate other farming systems for possible recurrences, • realise opportunities that might exist in their farming enterprise, and • mobilise marketing and farmers’ associations to become better organised. The trip could be rated a success and possible recurrences can be considered in the near future. |
