African Industrialization: A Key Driver for Inter-African Trade

“Industrialization, with strong linkages to domestic economies, will help African countries to achieve high growth rates, diversify their economies and reduce their exposure to external shocks. This will substantially contribute to poverty eradication through employment and wealth creation. The success of Africa’s industrialization programme will require the creation of enabling environment that enhances domestic capacity in respect of physical and social infrastructure, human capital, financial systems, research and development (R&D), technology and governance”.

Aquaculture

South Africa's aquaculture sector has high growth potential, given increasing demand for fish in the face of declining ocean-wide fish stocks, coupled with South Africa's abundance of marine and freshwater resources. The sector also offers significant potential for rural development for, especially, marginalised coastal communities.

Aquaculture currently contributes approximately R10,7 billion, or 0,2%, to South Africa's GDP. KwaZulu-Natal is a province with great potential for aquaculture, but because this is a fairly unknown 'culture,' development is slow. The introduction of programmes, inclusive of Operation Phakisa, are regarded as having the ability to see the realisation of some of this potential, driving the sector's development.
