Annual Report 2023/2024 Mpumalanga: Department of Economic Development and Tourism - Vote 6

Furthermore, a plan to operationalise the Mpumalanga International Fresh Produce Market was developed by MEGA and the Department. The Department is currently collaborating with the Department of Agriculture, Rural Development, Land and Environmental Affairs, the City of Mbombela and the Ehlanzeni District Municipality, to ensure that the operationalisation of the Market is successful. We are also in process of roping in private sector fresh produce market agents, commercial farmers and commodity groups to participate in the operationalisation of the project. The implementation of the operationalisation plan would commence as soon as the required approval from the Executive Council is obtained.
