Rundu to Host 13th National Fish Consumption Day with Free Exhibitor Opportunities

Rundu to Host 13th National Fish Consumption Day with Free Exhibitor Opportunities. Rundu will host the 13th National Fish Consumption Day (NFCD) on 4 October 2025, marking one of Namibia’s biggest annual celebrations of the country’s fishing industry. Organisers have announced that exhibitors are invited to participate in the NFCD Market Day free of charge, creating a platform to showcase products and services to a wide audience.

Application forms and Terms of Reference for participation are available through a scan code provided on the official event advert. The initiative aims to encourage broad participation from businesses, cooperatives, and community groups, particularly those involved in food production, fisheries, and related industries.

The National Fish Consumption Day is widely regarded as a flagship event in promoting the consumption of fish as a healthy and affordable source of protein, while also highlighting the role of Namibia’s fishing sector in contributing to food security and the national economy. Each year, the event is hosted in a different town, ensuring that communities across the country share in the benefits of awareness campaigns and market access opportunities.

This year’s edition in Rundu is expected to attract a strong turnout, given the opportunity for entrepreneurs to showcase their products without exhibition fees. Organisers believe the free exhibitor space will support small-scale producers and businesses by giving them exposure to potential customers, investors, and partners.

NFCD has become a calendar highlight for both the fishing industry and the public, combining educational programmes, exhibitions, and cultural activities. As preparations gather momentum, the call for exhibitors underscores the event’s inclusive approach to strengthening local economies while celebrating Namibia’s fish industry.
