NAMIBIAN POTATO REVOLUTION: NAHOP EMPOWERS FARMERS TO BRIDGE THE SPUD GAP

While potatoes reign supreme on Namibian dinner plates, the local harvest
struggles to keep up with the nation’s insatiable appetite. To bridge this “spud
gap,” the National Association of Horticulture Producers (Nahop) has launched a
nationwide initiative to train small-scale farmers in the art of potato
cultivation.

“This isn’t just a workshop; it’s a step-by-step blueprint for potato farming
success,” declares Nahop in a recent statement. The program equips farmers with
practical knowledge, from selecting and managing seed tubers to prepping the
land and planting techniques. Both open-field and bag-planting methods are
covered, catering to diverse land availability.

But Nahop knows farming transcends mere technique. The curriculum delves into
the crucial aspects of profitability, covering chemical and organic
fertilization, pest control strategies, and efficient irrigation practices.
Water, after all, is precious in Namibia, and maximizing its use is key.

Perhaps the most revolutionary element is the inclusion of “agri-preneurship”
training. Nahop understands that growing potatoes is a business, and farmers
need the financial and marketing tools to thrive. Cash flow management, market
analysis, and savvy sales tactics are woven into the fabric of the program,
empowering farmers to turn their harvests into profits.

This nationwide Potato Empowerment Tour kicks off in Gobabis, Omaheke region,
and continues its trek across Namibia, making stops in Windhoek, Rehoboth,
Keetmanshoop, Mariental, Okahandja, Otjiwarongo, Grootfontein/Tsumeb, Katima
Mulilo, Rundu, Nkurenkuru, Okongo, Oshakati/Ondangwa, Omaruru, Usakos, and
finally concludes in Swakopmund/Walvis Bay.

Farmers eager to join the potato revolution can contact their local Nahop
representative to secure their spot in this transformative program.
