Namibia eyes new grape market in Chad

Namibia is exploring opportunities to export its table grapes to Chad as part of efforts to open new African markets for local agricultural produce and expand trade between the two countries.

Namibia’s High Commissioner to Nigeria, Chad and Cameroon, Walde Ndevashiya, says the mission is working to identify potential buyers and distributors in Chad and connect them with Namibian grape producers and exporters.

The initiative forms part of Namibia’s efforts to turn its diplomatic relations with Chad into practical trade opportunities, with agriculture identified as one of the sectors that could deliver immediate commercial benefits. Ndevashiya said Namibia had established a reputation for producing quality agricultural products, including table grapes, which already have export markets.

“Namibia has developed a reputation for producing quality agricultural products, including table grapes, which have established export markets,” he said.

He said Chad presented an opportunity for Namibian producers to expand their reach through its commercial and distribution networks.
