WINDHOEK, Aug. 20 (Xinhua) -- The Namibian government plans to transform its fishing industry from a raw materials exporter into a comprehensive seafood economy, an official revealed on Wednesday.
Speaking during a consultation with fishing industry leaders in the port city of Walvis Bay, Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries, Water, and Land Reform Inge Zaamwani said the initiative forms part of the country's new National Development Plan and seeks to raise the share of locally processed catch from 23 percent to 45 percent within five years.
