Furniture Sector Development
 ‘This sector could create thousands of jobs and massive exports but we need to get the big firms and the little guys around a table to find solutions to the skills problems, lack of design knowledge and better raw material quality.' The furniture sector is one of South Africa's most labour-intensive manufacturing industries and an ideal target for small enterprise development. However, there has been little co-ordination of industry participants' activity and the sector has not fulfilled its growth potential. To help unlock the sector's potential, ComMark is supporting national industrial strategy initiatives with economic and market research assistance as well as support |
