Congrats Malawi: Africa's #1 mango producer on today's World Mango Day. Malawi grows up to 1.9million metric tons annually, and may hit 2m next year, vs. #2 Egypt (1.3 metric tons). Harvest is from October to March.

If you want to know where property growth is heading, follow the runway✈️ Long before the first plane lands at the new Cape Winelands Airport, investors are already buying the land around it. Now ask yourself why? Because airports attract logistics companies, warehouses, hotels, retailers, offices and the infrastructure needed to support them. Entire economic ecosystems form around major airports. One development (5km from the future Cape Winelands Airport) that looks exciting is the Mountain View Business Precinct. Quick details about the industrial park: Phase 1: β€’ 66,500m2 secured by national + international users β€’ 18,681m2 single plot of serviced industrial land remains for sale β€’ Already 75% sold out Phase 2 β€’ 120,000m2 planned for release The development will also include upgrades to Darwin Road, helping unlock the broader Durbanville industrial node. There is a term urban planners use for development around airports: aerotropolis. Think of it as an airport-centred city where industrial, commercial, retail and hospitality developments cluster around aviation infrastructure. We've seen this happen around major airports across the world. Now we're watching it happen in the Cape Winelands. Construction is expected to begin within the next 3 months. I've said it before, if you can, always buy near the airport. Drone image credit: JW Brand Solutions
