Blueberries exported to Germany

Namibia Berries, located in Divundu in the Kavango East Region, is currently wrapping up its very successful first harvest. About 190 tonnes of premium Namibian blueberries have already been exported between June and October, mainly to Germany, with low volumes sold locally in the region.

Launched in 2021, Namibia Berries focuses on large-scale commercial blueberry farming and is well aligned to the broader efforts to diversify Namibia’s agricultural exports while tapping into the growing global demand for blueberries. Namibia Berries has the key advantage of supplying early-season blueberries to global markets, capitalising on the high prices available during this period.

With a current investment value of N$200 million to date, Namibia Berries has created hundreds of jobs for the local community, with a 300 to 400-strong workforce during the harvesting season.
