MKINGA SPECIAL ECONOMIC ZONE

Concept

The Mkinga Special economic Zone is based on the concept that governments, businesses and other organizations need an appropriate venue for conducting their affairs in a secure and profitable location. Proximity to markets is an important factor. The target market for the park includes clients representing national, regional and state governments, international businesses, international organizations, and individuals who are interested in developing business relationships with Africa, Asia and/or the Middle East. Groundbreaking for the Authority has not yet begun, but we are now moving into our marketing phase to identify potential tenants.

About

Our main objective at this time is to introduce the Special economic to potential clients to identify their level of interest in establishing a locus within the Authority. Within the coming months, plans will be complete, and construction of the infrastructure will begin. At that time we will be moving toward signing agreements with interested clients.

Rift Consult ltd management and development team consists of individuals whose backgrounds consist of many years of marketing and business development experience. In addition, we have contracted with other individuals and organizations to provide the necessary legal, accounting and planning expertise.

Our marketing plan is under development. We have already identified target markets, and they will be approached as soon as the plans for the Authority are completed. The fundamental thrust of our marketing strategy consists of individual contact with appropriate clients in Africa, Asia, the Middle East, Europe and North America
