The Namibia Agronomic Board (NAB) has imposed a ban on the import of carrot, butternut, beetroot, cabbage, and English cucumber for February 2021 to promote local agriculture and procurement. A partial ban has also been placed on seven other fresh produce, allowing only 30% importation.

These measures are in place until the end of February.
