Cape trade agency goes Dutch

Five Dutch companies, members of the Southern African-Netherlands Chamber of Commerce (Sanec), have expressed interest in investing and furthering trade in the Western Cape and have been put in touch with Wesgro, the official trade and investment promotion agency for the Western Cape. This follows a visit by Wesgro to the Sanec office in The Hague earlier this month. According to a Sanec spokesperson, the visit was primarily to seek further Dutch investment in the region and to promote agricultural exports out of the Western Cape.
