Kavango east: President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah on Monday expressed satisfaction with the achievements of the Vhungu Vhungu Green Scheme in the Kavango East Region after the farm fully utilised all its available agricultural land for the first time.According to Namibia Press Agency, Nandi-Ndaitwah continued her tour of agricultural projects in the Kavango regions, visiting the Sikondo Green Scheme in Kavango West before proceeding to Vhungu Vhungu in Kavango East. She was accompanied by Minister in the Presidency Charles Mubita, Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries, Water and Land Reform Inge Zaamwani, as well as the governors of Kavango West and Kavango East.During the visit, Vhungu Vhungu Green Scheme farm manager Floris Smith informed the president that the farm is operating at more than 100 per cent planting capacity. Nandi-Ndaitwah welcomed the development and congratulated the farm's management, staff, and workers for the achievement.Smith stated, "I promised you more production during your last visi t in 2025. We have definitely done better this year than in previous years. We have no excuse to say we have not planted for one reason or another." He reported that the farm planted maize on all 311 hectares this season, marking the first time that every centre pivot has been fully utilised.The scheme expects to harvest between 1,900 and 2,000 tonnes of maize despite challenges caused by electricity outages and storm damage experienced last month. Smith informed the president that two centre pivots were damaged during a rainstorm in March, forcing the farm to resort to manual harvesting using 120 labourers, resulting in unplanned labour costs.Smith further highlighted the need to improve soil quality to increase maize yields in future seasons. Nandi-Ndaitwah emphasised that the eighth administration is determined to unlock the full potential of agriculture and position Namibia's green schemes as models of excellence in sustainable development.
