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.
