With more farmers looking into diversifying their farming practices, pig farming provides a solution as well as helping food security in Namibia. It is currently a growing sector within Namibia’s agriculture industry. Compared to livestock produced in a primarily free-range environment in Namibia (cattle, sheep, and goats), farming with pigs commercially requires detailed attention and hands-on management. Therefore, if done properly, pig farming presents a good return on investment.
