Cooperation in Practice
Visit of the Governors of Namibia
A concrete example of institutional and regional cooperation linked to agricultural development and the sharing of technical knowledge.
INSTITUTIONAL RELATIONS
Regional cooperation around agriculture
In early 2026, Jardins da Yoba hosted a delegation of Governors from the northern region of Namibia for an institutional visit to its production and processing units.
The visit provided an opportunity to showcase the company’s integrated model, which connects agricultural research, seed production, technology, processing, and territorial development.
More than just a formal visit, this event demonstrated the growing interest in structured agricultural solutions adapted to the realities of the territory and geared towards productivity, innovation, and food security.
