Namibia Agricultural Union

The Namibia Agricultural Union is a union of farmers in Namibia which represents commercial or non-subsistence farmers.[1] The president of the NAU is Piet Gouws.[2] Previous presidents include Raimar von Hase and Jan de Wet.[3] The NAU is part of the International Federation of Agricultural Producers, a global organization which advocates for farmers.[4]

Paul Smit, a farmer from Otjozondjupa Region, played a prominent role in the Union from 1987-1997, holding the presidency of the Union from 1993-1997. He has since entered politics and, while officially "apolitical", served as the Deputy Minister of Agriculture in the SWAPO government.[5]
