The use, challenges and economic importance of draught oxen on small farms in Namibia’s Eastern Caprivi region

The Eastern Caprivi region in Namibia has the highest adoption rates of draught ox power in Namibia. It is also one of the most well watered areas, with high concentrations of people, crops and livestock. The published research documenting the use of oxen in this region is limited, despite the number of oxen and the interest from the Agronomic Board of Namibia in training people to better utilize these animals. At a time when food and petroleum prices are rising, and Namibia is trying to improve agricultural production, this report helps document the value of these animals.
