Mahangu Chakula

In line with the rallying call of the Namibia’s national agent, Chakula Foods has crafted a key strategic direction which sought to stimulate economic activity in the agricultural sector by primarily centralizing the procurement of grain products with particular emphasis on mahangu by all GRN Offices, Ministries and Agencies (OMAs) and prioritizing procurement of locally produced grain products.
