What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Clemencia Coetzee called on the government to implement targeted financial relief for farmers in Namibia affected by the Foot-and-Mouth disease outbreak and El Niño. She argued that the N$179 million currently allocated for disease containment is insufficient to mitigate extensive economic losses in the agricultural sector, citing livestock movement restrictions and suspended export market access.
