Question NW961 to the Minister of Trade and Industry
15 April 2016 - NW961
Whitfield, Mr AG to ask the Minister of Trade and Industry
Whether his department (a) has provided or (b) has plans in place to provide any support to the canola oil production project in Alexandria in the Eastern Cape; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details in each case?
Reply:
The department received an application that was assessed by the Agro Processing sector desk for the establishment of Canola Oil value chain in the Eastern Cape. The project did not meet the criteria for any incentive programme, therefore it was not considered.
