Introduction >>
Allow duty free import of raw and intermediate materials and capital goods to manufacture for exports.
Three sites so far have been declared as Export Processing Zones. These are Fumba Free Zone, Amaan Industrial Park and Micheweni Free Zone.
Fumba Free Zone >>
Located 24 km from the seaport and 10 km from Zanzibar
International Airport in the southwest of Unguja
Island (Zanzibar) and covering an area of 3000 hectares,
Fumba Free Zone is the largest zone in Zanzibar. It is
relatively green and therefore suitable for customertailored
construction of industrial sheds/warehouses. All
utilities are within reach. Ideal for light engineering and
projects based on the maximum use of local raw materials
such as marine and agriculture resources and labour
intensive factories like garment manufacturing.
Amaan Industrial Park >>
Located just 3 km from the seaport and 2 km from
airport, Amaan Industrial Park is fairly developed and
operational and covers an area of 12.5 hectares. Existing
infrastructure includes:
Industrial sheds/warehouses.
All necessary utilities like electricity, water and
telecommunication.
On site customs inspection.
Micheweni Free Zone >>
Covering an area of 808.8 hectares, 75 km from the seaport
and 45 km from the airport, this zone is located at
Micheweni, on the northeastern tip of Pemba. Like the
Fumba zone, Micheweni offers untouched land ready to
host potential investors.
