Stock farmers at Spitzkoppe and Okombahe recently held a successful livestock auction where they sold quality cattle and goats. These communities have been unable to hold auctions in 30 years.
Operating under the Omkaibasen Community Farmers Cooperative and with cooperation from Agra, the communal farmers were delighted at the positive outcome of the first ever auction held by the community itself.
The auction was held at Samatab Noord No 115, some 30 km northwest of Usakos in the Erongo Region.
The event is seen as empowerment for local communal farmers in the Spitzkoppe area who at the end of the auction had made over N$360 000.
