AGRICULTURE, MANUFACTURING & MINING

Within the region we produce quality export fruit, vegetables and olives. In the Phokwane municipal area there is scope for secondary industry, like the processing of prime agricultural products.

The Vaalharts irrigation scheme, the biggest in the Southern hemisphere, is predominantly located in this area. Because water is abundant, the district also lends itself to other industrial developments like leather and cotton production. Dikgatlong municipal area offers potential for major investment in recreation focussing on the river - this will include fly-fishing, water sports and conference facilities. Magareng municipal area needs investment in beneficiation from diamond mining activities, e.g. secondary production, rehabilitation, etc. In addition to these, we have a prime rock art site (run by the San community), some very scarce vegetation species and potential for further development around game farming activities. We have a well-developed rail, road and air link infrastructure linking our district to national and international markets. Frances Baard District offers you an almost pollution-free, crime-free and tranquil environment with easy access to whatever complex technology you may need for your business.
