Namibia Berries, an export production blueberry project on the outskirts of Divundu village is planning to develop a 250ha blueberry farm, employing nearly 800 people and also creating 7000 jobs during the harvest seasons.
This is a N$1.5 billion investment to be implemented over 7 years, with an ambition to make a significant economic impact in terms of local spend, job creation and export earnings.
