Mpumalanga Economic Growth Agency (MEGA

Mpumalanga, which is in the northeast of South Africa and borders Mozambique and eSwatini, offers a strategic location to investors and export-oriented businesses.

The Mpumalanga Economic Growth Agency – MEGA – is the official Economic Development Agency for the provincial government of Mpumalanga. MEGA offers a range of services to assist investors and exporters to take advantage of the many trade and investment opportunities in Mpumalanga Province.

The provincial economy is highly diverse, with significant activity in mining, agriculture, stainlesssteel production, petrochemicals, pulp and paper, manufacturing and tourism. Mpumalanga’s position and resources make it a valuable transport and logistics hub.

The Mpumalanga Economic Growth Agency (MEGA) facilitates investment in the province and is always keen to talk to potential investors. Investment opportunities The recently designated Nkomazi Special Economic Zone (SEZ) is the first SEZ to be established in Mpumalanga Province. Located in the town of Komatipoort, adjacent to the border with Mozambique, the Nkomazi SEZ is to be developed as an agro-processing hub, supported by logistics and other related international trade services. The Nkomazi SEZ, though a generous tax incentive package, will seek to maximise the participation and development of local agriculture and small and medium-sized enterprises throughout the value chain – from primary agriculture to the production of high-value end products for export.

The Maputo Development Corridor (MDC) is a Spatial Development Initiative linking Gauteng, Mpumalanga, the Nkomazi SEZ and the Port of Maputo in Mozambique. The MDC infrastructure supports logistics operations and gives investors and exporters good access to the markets of East Africa, the Indian Ocean rim and East Asia.

The Mpumalanga International Fresh Produce Market (MIFPM) located in the provincial capital city of Mbombela is currently under construction. The MIFPM will serve farmers and customers from Mpumalanga Province, South Africa, regional markets in eSwatini and Mozambique and the global food market through the Port of Maputo. Mpumalanga Province is one of South Africa’s most productive and important agricultural regions and plays a key role in the export profile of South African fruit and nuts. The MIFPM offers excellent investment opportunities for international companies in the food industry.
