Namibia: Namibia Beefs With FMD

Namibia is currently facing a Foot-and-Mouth Disease (FMD) threat that places its significant beef export industry at risk. The situation poses a potential danger to local livelihoods and a vital sector of the national economy.

As the only African nation with simultaneous beef export access to the lucrative markets of the European Union, the United States, China, and Norway, Namibia now confronts severe economic vulnerabilities as it works to contain the outbreak.
