The Beluluane Industrial Park, located in the district of Boane, Maputo province, is an important economic hub in Mozambique, with 52 companies installed and under the management of MozParks, the entity is responsible for around 900 million dollars (56.8 billion meticais) in contribution to GDP.
The companies in the park represent a diversity of 17 countries, including the United States of America, Pakistan, India, South Africa, Portugal and Tanzania. Most of these companies are involved in the aluminum value chain, most notably Mozal, which produces around 500,000 tons of aluminum a year. Part of this production is used locally by Midal Cables Internacional in the production of electrical cables, and another part is absorbed by the metalworking sector for the production of industrial accessories.
In addition to the aluminum industry, the park also covers factories in the agro-processing sector, especially cashew nuts.
With around ten thousand jobs created, the Beluluane Industrial Park has been an important driver of employment in the region. Around five thousand of these jobs are directly linked to the Mozal project, while the rest are spread across various industries within the park.
The total investment in the design of the Beluluane Industrial Park exceeds 3.2 billion dollars (202.2 billion meticais), with Mozal contributing more than 2 billion dollars (126.4 billion meticais) to this amount.
