DevPact conducted Sector Analysis and Strategy Development for the Mpumalanga Provincial Government in South Africa
The Mpumalanga Provincial Government and DARDLEA intended to stimulate an increase in the value and share of Mpumalanga’s apple production and trade in the South African, regional, and international markets. To this end, a Strategic Plan for expanded output and enhanced trade value was required, encompassing Optimal Grower Location (Geography), Market Access Points (Value Chain), Primary and secondary Production Capacity (Investment) and Supporting Infrastructure (Physical and Institutional). DevPact was retained by the implementing consortium to develop a Market Status Report, a Market Potential Report, and an Investment Targeting report to assist the Department in making investment decisions in the apple industry, especially regarding the Special Economic Zone and the Mpumalanga Fresh Produce Market.
