Introduction to Industries in KwaZulu-NatalKwaZulu-Natal has a diverse
industrial sector, with major industries having developed
around the port of Durban as well as agricultural and
forestry
industries. There are a number of industries promoted by
the development of Richards Bay on the mineral
resources of the province.
The major industries in the province are sugar, forestry,
aluminium, petro-chemicals, automotive manufacturing,
steel production, plastics and packaging,
paper and board manufacturing, and a range of industries
associated with imports and exports though the two major
ports of the Durban and Richards Bay.
In this 2007 update of the KwaZulu-Natal freight transport
databank, the number of industry descriptions was expanded
and updated.
Wherever possible some of the volumes or output figures
were included in the industry
descriptions.
