Limpopo plant oils facility will boost job creation
The Nkowankowa demonstration centre - a plant oils and extracts facility, was opened in Tzaneen, Limpopo, to boost job creation, department of science and technology spokesperson Lunga Ngqengelele said, adding that the centre had already selected 33 potential entrepreneurs and directly employed 13 people.
The centre would run a R13.9m development project over the next three years, extracting various fruit and plant oils with a view to establish their viability in cosmetics. "The most important benefit brought by the facility is the incubation of small businesses that use new health, beauty, and nutritional products from the facility," Ngqengelele said.
The centre would build on the dominant agriculture sector in the greater Tzaneen area, where fruit such as marula, oranges, grapefruit, mangoes, avocados and bananas were produced on a small scale and commercially. Sasol ChemCity, the Vaal University and the Council for Industrial and Research would all provide relevant expertise. "In time to come, the centre will act as a 'think-tank' for product testing and business incubation," Ngqengelele said.
