Agricultural development corridors in the Northern Cape

Overview of the agricultural and agri-processing trade and investment potential of the Northern Cape.

The Northern Cape produces some of the highest-quality agricultural products in South Africa.

Growth in agriculture-related industries would also create a market for related businesses such as fibre sack and cardboard carton manufacturing.
