Exporters told to prepare for stiffer competition

Opening the annual general meeting of the Botswana Exporters and Manufacturers Association (BEMA) recently, Trade and Industry Minister Neo Moroka said these developments meant more intensified competition.

"It is therefore absolutely vital that our companies position themselves strategically to face this global competition," Moroka said. "For a long time, our companies have been inwardly focused, looking to Government as the main consumer of their products and services."
