Officiated by Minister for Commerce and Industry, Henry Amuli, who stated, 'This is a very important government document that will shape the future of our manufacturing sector and pave the way for economic growth and prosperity.'

Thus, the agenda of adding value to our natural resources and diversifying the economy has become more important at this time than before.
