PRESIDENT Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah has expressed satisfaction with the progress at the Uvhungu-Vhungu Green Scheme in the Kavango East Region after the project reached full utilisation of its agricultural land for the first time.
The President made the remarks during a visit to the scheme, where she assessed progress on recommendations from previous engagements, reviewed preparations for the upcoming winter harvest and summer planting season, and inspected the availability of farming equipment and machinery.
The Uvhungu-Vhungu Green Scheme is one of Government’s key agricultural projects aimed at boosting food production, strengthening national food security, creating employment opportunities, supporting small-scale farmers and driving rural economic development through the production of maize, wheat and horticultural crops.
“I am happy. There is good progress in terms of plantation,” President Nandi-Ndaitwah said, commending management, workers and farmers for their efforts in improving productivity at the scheme.
She further reaffirmed that Green Scheme projects will remain a priority for Government oversight, with regular visits and progress reporting expected to ensure accountability and sustained agricultural growth.
