Namibia’s “growth at home” strategy to boost leather industry
09/04/2013
Local media reported that President Hifikepunye Pohamba announced the “growth at home" strategy in a state of the nation address to parliament.
He said: "We aim to reduce the export of livestock on the hoof. Instead, finished meat, leather and related products should be produced locally. The same should happen in mining and fishing sectors, as important pillars of our economy. These industries have historically demonstrated their potential to create jobs and contribute to economic growth. They must be developed further to benefit our people."
