New salt warehouse crucial investment
Walvis Bay Salt Holdings managing director André Snyman described the company's N$100 million salt warehouse as a crucial investment for long-term sustainability.
The facility, opened on 20 May, is designed to reduce dust pollution and contamination.
Snyman said the warehouse is a stay-in-business project that ensures the integrity and quality of our salt exports.
Walvis Bay Salt, which recently marked its 60th anniversary, exports to over 15 international markets and accounts for 70% of product flow through Namport, contributing more than N$36 million in revenue.
Snyman says one of their US clients has stopped exports due to the tariffs.
The company also produces premium table salt under the Cerebos brand while investing over N$400 million in Namibia over the past decade. Snyman said the field production costs rose 4% over seven years, while logistics and value chain costs surged by 48%.
