Transport and Food Push Inflation to 4.2% in March

At a Harare breakfast, the Women in Agriculture Union urged women to control agriculture value chains, citing a farm hub, a fund and a microfinance bank.
Young operators
The advantages that once belonged to incumbents – distribution, reach, scale – are loosening. Digital tools and regional trade are handing younger founders a different starting line.
Professional services firms

Local manufacturers
As trade disruptions ripple through global supply chains, the case for making things in Botswana grows stronger – and local manufacturers gain ground they have long argued for.
Commodity negotiators

Construction executives
Botswana’s energy and mineral exploration deals with Oman put a new class of construction executive in the spotlight – the people who turn signed agreements into delivered infrastructure.
Retail founders
Inflation and consumer pressure forced Botswana’s retail founders into a new pricing discipline, even as the national budget projected an economic rebound to come.
