What happened
Due to the foot-and-mouth disease outbreak in the Karas region, Meat Corporation of Namibia sent approximately 400 production workers on three weeks of special leave. The company confirmed that all affected employees are receiving their full salaries and benefits. The return of production workers depends on guidance from the Directorate of Veterinary Services.

Why it matters
The outbreak disrupts national livestock production and trade in Namibia. This operational slowdown reduces meat processing capacity at the Windhoek abattoir, adding to existing economic strain felt by the retail sector in Windhoek.
The retail sector in Windhoek is currently feeling economic strain, while the IMF has noted Namibia's weak economic growth and the risk posed by war escalation.
