The 2023/24 edition of Mpumalanga Business is the 14th issue of this successful publication that since its launch in 2008 has established itself as the premier business and investment guide for the province.
Introduced by a warm message of welcome to potential investors from the CEO of the Mpumalanga Economic Growth Agency (MEGA), this edition of the journal also contains the official Mpumalanga Investment Prospectus, a comprehensive survey of the province’s assets and the potential of the region. Major catalytic projects such as the Nkomazi Special Economic Zone (NSEZ) and the Mpumalanga International Fresh Produce Market (MIFPM) are examined in detail, outlining how producers, processors and logistics firms stand to benefit and where there is potential for investment.
In addition to the Prospectus, the journal contains a special feature on how the province is leading the field in going green in various projects across several sectors. Sector overviews give up-to-date news on what is going on in the key sectors of the provincial economy, as well as giving a more general view of conditions pertaining to that sector.
