The formulation of strategies to combat problems in the key economic sectors, particularly in Agriculture, Manufacturing & Tourism, are the main focus for progression to the next level.
The current issues identified are: |
| |
| |
|
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
 |
|
The scale of agriculture farming is small, resulting in inefficiencies, high production costs, inconsistent quality of output, and ultimately low levels of yield and income for the farmers. |
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
Marketing efficiencies and distribution channels are limited. |
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
Quality technologies and agricultural practices are lacking. |
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
Proper infrastructure in the region is moderate. |
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
Lack of large, adjoining land for agriculture. |
| |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
High competition with other regions in attracting investments. |
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
While output and exports of the E&E sector are high, the domestic value in output is still relatively low. |
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
The concentration of manufacturing activities in the Northern Region has led to imbalanced industrialisation amongst the Northern Region states and rural-urban migration. This has led to income inequality and poverty in the rural areas. |
| |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
The Northern Corridor requires more tourist destinations and attractions that can appeal to tourists for them to stay longer and spend more. |
