The United Nations says it is alarmed by the dwindling food reserves in the Republic of Namibia.

Currently the reserves are at an all-time low of 16% and jobs are at risk in an economy about one-quarter of which is made up of agriculture.

Currently more than 48% of Namibia's population is regarded as food insecure.

There are concerns that if the rains don't come in October, the country could be in trouble.

The country has now turned to rice from China, millet from India, 640 wild animals slaughtered for game meat, and purifying sea water, this as Namibia faces the worst drought in a century.

To shed more light on this ,Ms Ndiyakupi Nghituwamata, the Director General in the Ministry of Agriculture, Water and Land Reform.
