Namibia: Exporter Guide

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)   |   WA2025-0004
The contemporary formal market sector, which provides most of Namibia's income, and the country's traditional subsistence sector make up the economy. While most Namibians engage in subsistence farming and herding, the country employs over 200,000 skilled workers and a significant number of highly qualified professionals. Namibia presents prospects for American exports, particularly for consumer goods as well as Livestock genetics. American exporters face obstacles such as low-priced local and South African suppliers, preferential trade agreements with U.S. competitors, and a weak local currency exchange rate against the dollar. However, Namibian consumers' interest in trying new products has opened opportunities for U.S. exports.
