Economy
-------

Economic overview: The economy is heavily dependent on the
extraction and processing of minerals for export. Mining accounts
for almost 25% of GDP. Namibia is the fourth-largest exporter of
nonfuel minerals in Africa and the world's fifth-largest producer of
uranium. Rich alluvial diamond deposits make Namibia a primary
source for gem-quality diamonds. Namibia also produces large
quantities of lead, zinc, tin, silver, and tungsten. More than half
the population depends on agriculture (largely subsistence
agriculture) for its livelihood. Namibia must import some of its
food.
