Namibia Agricultural Union

Namibia Agricultural Union

The Namibia Agricultural Union is a union of farmers in Namibia which represents commercial or non-subsistence farmers.[1] The leader of the NAU since 2004 is Raimar von Hase who replaced Jan de Wet.[2] and it is part of the International Federation of Agricultural Producers, a global organization which advocates for farmers.[3]

Paul Smit, a farmer from Otjozondjupa Region, played a prominent role in the Union from 1987-1997, holding the presidency of the Union from 1993-1997. He has since entered politics and, while officially "apolitical", serves as the Deputy Minister of Agriculture in the SWAPO government.[4]
