About CropMap Namibia

A national, region-level picture of the crops sitting on Namibia’s farms.

Namibia has a lot of grain and produce that does not reach the mills — silos fill up, offtake stalls, and no one really knows how much is out there. CropMap fixes the not knowing: farmers report what they have available and what is still in their fields, and the country sees the totals by region.

How it works

  1. Farmers report Producers log how much of each crop is available in storage and how much is still estimated standing in their fields.
  2. It’s pooled by region Every report rolls up into a total for one of Namibia’s 14 regions — never shown as an individual farm or figure.
  3. Everyone can see Buyers, planners and the public see how much produce is out there and how fast it is moving to mills, so the country can plan instead of guess.

Privacy by design

CropMap works entirely at the regional level. Exact farm locations are never shown, and a region only appears once at least two farms report in it — so no single producer’s figures can be identified or singled out.

Tracking offtake

As farmers sell and deduct produce, CropMap charts the monthly drawdown — the real rate at which crops are reaching the mills.

Who takes part

Producer reports available crops and field estimates, and records sales as produce leaves the farm
