In particular, an increased effort is being made to develop the raw material processing industries, including food processing, steel and downstream hydrocarbon industries, with the assistance of domestic and foreign investors. This effort, which will generate added value in the local exploitation of agricultural, mining and mineral resources, will allow the development of other branches of local industry.

As for investments in industrial processes, subcontracting activities will benefit from an incentive framework for access to land and financing and a preferential tax regime. The aim is to promote economic diversification capacities by encouraging, through customs and fiscal advantages, the substitution of unproductive imports by national industrial production.
