This report, prepared for the Desert Research Foundation of Namibia, investigated using the reeds for income-generating activities. We investigated the characteristics of the reeds, the market potential for reed products, and evaluated the interests of the stakeholders in participating in a reed business initiative. The results showed the reeds have potential for generating income.
