Namibia’s economy is diversified and based on agriculture, fishing, mining, manufacturing, logistics and tourism. Namibia produces the highest proportion of gem quality diamonds of any major diamond producing country and hosts the largest offshore diamond mining operation in the world. It is also the largest uranium producer in Africa and was third largest in the world in 2023. Namibia hosts the first seawater desalination plant in southern Africa and was the second country in Africa to introduce 4G mobile telephony. Google’s Equiano subsea cable landed in Namibia in July 2022. Namibia produces internationally recognised products such as Windhoek lager and farm-assured beef. In 2019 it become the first country in Africa to export beef to China and in 2020 the first country in Africa to export beef to the US. The largest single investment in Africa by China – Husab uranium mine – is located near the long-established Rössing Uranium mine in central Namibia. Namibia regularly comes top in Africa in the World Economic Forum’s Road Infrastructure Report for best road infrastructure on the continent. Namibia aims to become a major producer of green hydrogen and ammonia and, since the discovery of significant offshore oil and gas resources in early 2022, a major oil and gas exporter.
