Agriculture in Namibia contributes around 5% of the national Gross Domestic Product though 25% to 40% of Namibians depend on subsistence agriculture and herding. Primary products included livestock and meat products, crop farming and forestry. Only 2% of Namibia's land receives sufficient rainfall to grow crops.
As all inland rivers are ephemeral, irrigation is only possible in the valleys of the border rivers Orange, Kunene, and Okavango, and also at the Hardap Irrigation Scheme.
