  • Preferred access to financial and development institutions (such as the European Investment Bank (EIB), the Centre for Development Enterprise (CDE) etc.), and contact with high-ranking representatives of Government Ministries and intermediary organisations;
  • A comprehensive analysis and report on the Agro-Industry Sector in Southern Africa, highlighting selected and relevant business and investment opportunities in the SADC region;
