A GIEWS country brief for Namibia forecasts a poor 2024/25 rainfall outlook, with below-average rain likely in key northern areas from November to March. The 2023/24 cereal harvest was about a third below the five-year average after El Niño-linked drought.
Namibia is a small import market, so rising cereal import needs add modest regional demand for maize and wheat. Global price effects are minimal.
