Namibia's economy is resource-driven, with mining of diamonds, uranium, and zinc as key exports. Agriculture, including beef and grapes, supports rural areas, while fisheries contribute through exports. Tourism thrives on wildlife safaris in Etosha National Park and the Namib Desert. Arid climate limits arable land, leading to food import dependence. Post-independence reforms have improved infrastructure, but inequality remains high. The services sector grows with Windhoek as a hub. Efforts to diversify include renewable energy and manufacturing. Despite challenges like drought and unemployment, Namibia's stable democracy and natural wealth provide a foundation for sustainable growth and regional integration.
