What happened
The Namibia Statistics Agency released figures showing that meat inflation fell to 3.3% in September 2026, down from 8.1% in September 2025. This slowdown was primarily driven by declines in beef and minced meat inflation, which fell to 2.6% and 7.0%, respectively. In August, fresh, chilled, and frozen beef exports generated N$374 million, accounting for 3% of total exports.

Why it matters
The figures indicate that food trade surplus in Namibia is being driven by exports of fish and meat. The moderation in meat inflation suggests easing domestic price pressures, while the strong export performance contributes to the country's trade balance.
