OSHAKATI, 24 MAR (NAMPA) - The Okongo Village Council has announced that the fifth Omaludi Agricultural Festival will take place at Okongo in the Ohangwena Region from 25 to 30 May 2026.
Chairperson of the Omaludi Agricultural Festival, Jackson Muma, said the event will be held near the Okongo Airstrip. It will bring together farmers, entrepreneurs and other industry players for exhibitions, networking and cultural activities aimed at promoting agriculture and rural development.
According to Muma, the event has grown into an important platform for economic and agricultural advancement.
“Over the years, Omaludi has created a powerful platform for farmers, entrepreneurs and innovators to connect, showcase and grow. It adds value to the economic development of the region and Namibia at large, while contributing meaningfully to the national agricultural agenda,” he said.
This year’s festival will be held under the theme ‘Agriculture and Tourism for Sustainable Economic Growth.’
“The theme denotes the critical role agriculture plays as a driver of inclusive development, while highlighting tourism as a complementary force in unlocking rural economies. Together, these sectors present a powerful pathway toward youth empowerment, innovation and sustainable prosperity,” said Muma.
President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah will be the keynote speaker at the fundraising gala dinner scheduled for 25 April 2026 at the Okongo Village Council offices to mobilise support ahead of the main event.
