Ngatjizeko said that Meatco was allocated 1,300 tonnes while Brukkaros was allocated 300 tonnes for 2018.
The quota allocations for 2018 became effective on January 1 and must be exhausted fully in the given year.
"The quota remains
valid for as long as the abattoirs ... obtain export certification as an
approved supplier of beef to Norway," Ngatjizeko said in a letter to
Meat Board general manager Paul Strydon last month.
He said the trade
ministry would continue reviewing the quota allocations in the future to
ensure equitable and proportional allocations, according to the
capacities at the various export abattoirs.
"As a condition of
the export permit each quota allocation permit holder must, by the last
day of June 2018, report to the Meat Board of Namibia on the total
export achieved," he emphasized.
He said if an
export quota holder has not fulfilled its export commitments by June 30,
2018, its allocation may be revoked and be re-allocated to other
certified exporters.
"The quota allocated to the given abattoirs is not transferrable to any third party," he added.
Last year Meatco was allocated 1,400 tonnes, while 200 tonnes went to Brukkaros.
