All producers registered with the Namibian Agronomic Board are welcome and must kindly take note of the following guidelines for delivery:

Validity of bank accounts must be proved by an official letter from the bank on the bank’s letterhead confirming account name, number and ID of the accountholder.
• Although EFT’s will be effected on delivery, producers must bear in mind that it might take a day or two for the money to become available due to the banking processes involved.
• Namib Mills is pleased to announce a N$500 per ton (N$0.50/kg) subsidy which will be added to the mahangu floor price for mahangu delivered to the company’s silos in Otavi.
