Producer registration at Meat Board

The Meat Board requests all livestock producers, abattoirs or slaughtering facilities, exporters or dealers of livestock or livestock products to register at the Meat Board for 2018/19.

With this registration producers will receive their producer numbers which are annually renewable. The advantage of having a producer number is that it puts a producer in a position to market animals to any export abattoir, to import and export animals to and from Namibia. Registration is free of charge. Producers who have not been registered before, or would like to renew their registration numbers, can get the application forms from the Meat Board as well as agents such as Agra, Karoo Ochse and Kaap Agri.

The Meat Board further requests that, when persons want to be de-registered, such as with retirement or in the case of a producer's death, they inform the Meat Board accordingly.

The registration forms are also available on the website of the Meat Board at www.nammic.com.na and at certain agricultural extension and veterinary offices.
