Hardap invests in agriculture and tourism to drive economic growth

Hardap governor Riaan McNab says agriculture and tourism remain critical pillars of the regional economy, with the government investing in farmer support programmes, climate resilience initiatives and tourism development projects aimed at creating jobs and stimulating economic growth.

Delivering the state of the region address at Mariental on Monday, McNab said sustained investment in agriculture is helping to improve food security and strengthen the resilience of farming communities against the effects of climate change.

“Agriculture remains a cornerstone of our regional economy and a vital source of livelihoods for our people. Through targeted interventions, we are enhancing productivity, building resilience and creating opportunities for both emerging and established farmers,” he said.
