The Nelson Mandela Bay Business Chamber (NMB BC) has entered into a three-year strategic partnership with agricultural group BKB, aimed at strengthening the work of the chamber’s projects desk, which acts as the implementation arm of its Local Economic Reinvention Think Tank.
BKB is one of South Africa’s largest and oldest agribusiness companies, operating across a range of agricultural value chains.
Through the partnership, BKB will join banking group ABSA in providing support to the projects desk.
The projects desk is responsible for proactively identifying and developing potential projects and undertaking prefeasibility studies for initiatives that could potentially create investment and employment opportunities in the Eastern Cape metro.
It serves as the central platform for identifying high-potential investment projects that can contribute to the metro’s long-term economic strategy.
