Minister of Trade and Industry, Dr Rob Davies, will lead a trade and investment mission to Mozambique from 22 to 26 May to seek closer trade relations with the neighbouring country.
He said South Africa had become Mozambique’s main trading partner – with bilateral trade currently totalling R42.04 billion – and called on companies in the agriculture, infrastructure and steel fabrication sectors to apply to participate in the mission.
Companies that are interested in participating in the trade fair will be funded through the Export Marketing and Investment Assistance (EMIA) scheme and will be screened according to the EMIA guidelines.
The trade and investment mission in Mozambique will take place 2017.
