# Namibia lifts ban on poultry imports from South Africa

> Namibia lifted its one-year ban on chicken imports from South Africa, announced in a mid-May notice. Imports will be allowed only from avian-influenza-free, biosecure South African farms entering through legal channels, and import quotas will remain in place. The ban had been imposed in September 2023 after an HPAI outbreak in South Africa.

## Why it matters

Reopening imports adds supply to Namibia's chicken market, though quotas limit the volume and should keep the effect on prices modest.
