4 Agra Financial Overview: First 6 months of the financial year
This is Agra’s second financial year operating under the ongoing
effects of the global COVID-19 pandemic, which has severely
impacted companies worldwide. During this time, Agra has taken
continuous precautions to manage operational costs.
7 Charcoal Association warns against veld fires
The office of the Namibia Charcoal Association in Otjiwarongo has
already received complaints about the first veld fires that occurred
in Hochfeld, Kalkfeld, Outjo, and Wilhelmstal. Many veld fires are
caused annually by charcoal production.

OVERVIEW
In this issue of the Ring, we look at the charcoal industry
regulations, particularly related to preventing veld fires. This
has been a contentious issue for some time now, and as there
is no shortage of grass across a large part of the country, there
is a lot of tension about fires. Baie dankie aan die NLU vir die
inligting op kole- en veldbrande.
