Experimentation with rice growing at Ogongo College of Agriculture (OCA) has made significant progress. The exercise may result in small-scale local rice production, Senior lecturer and Head of Crop Science, Dr Luke Kanyomeka, said recently.

Kanyomeka who is attached to the Faculty of Agriculture and Natural Resources of the University of Namibia (Unam) is the driving force behind rice production for commercial purposes. He is a native Zambia and arrived in Namibia in 2001.
