Namibia has one of the biggest GDP per capita in Africa. Yet, due to an uneven distribution of income, half of the population lives below the poverty line. The Namibian economy is dependent on the extraction and processing of minerals like diamonds, uranium, lead, zinc, tin, silver, and tungsten. Subsistence agriculture is the main source of income for 50% of Namibians.
