Namibia resumes poultry imports with SA after bird flu ban
Namibia has lifted its ban on live poultry and bird imports from South Africa, the agriculture ministry announced on Friday, 16 August. The ban, imposed in September 2023, followed an outbreak of highly pathogenic avian influenza in South Africa.

Namibia consumes an estimated 2,500 metric tonnes of chicken every month, typically relying on imports mainly from South Africa.
The ministry also said it had suspended imports of live birds and uncooked poultry products from Brazil's Rio Grande do Sul state following an outbreak of the avian Newcastle disease.
Consignments containing poultry products from the state packed in their final packaging on or after 18 June, the date of suspension, will be sent back or destroyed at the importer's cost, Namibia's agriculture ministry said.
