Namibia is battling an outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease in its cattle, prompting the European Union to suspend several imports of Namibian meat. The outbreak threatens the livelihoods of livestock farmers in a country where beef exports are a key part of the agricultural economy, and the EU ban is expected to deal a significant financial blow to producers and the wider export industry.
