The minister of industrialisation and trade, Lucia Iipumbu, has praised the brewing company Anheuser-Busch InBev, commonly known as AB InBev, for having three line products that are produced locally.
Speaking during the company’s Lion Lager production launch at Okahandja on Wednesday, Iipumbu said the production of this beer will reduce the country’s dependency on imports.
“This also means that more local jobs will be created,” said Iipumbu.
According to Iipumbu, the county’s Vision 2030 goal is to consume what is produced locally
She added that companies that do business with Namibia have the advantage of having access to other markets in Southern African Development Community (SADC).
