Govt undertakes study on transport sector competitiveness

This was revealed by the Minister of Trade and Industry Dorcas Makgato-Malesu at the official launch of Botswana Truckers Association (BOTRA) on Tuesday. She said the objective of the study is to assess the competitiveness of the transport and logistics sector both as a potential services export sector and as a critical enabler for other sectors in the economy.

Makgato-Malesu said the study would provide input on the potential for the sector, the areas where investments may be targeted and the policies that must be adopted and implemented to support the development of the sector. This will naturally look at cross border trade and related issues.
