Who We Are
MAGEBU was established as part of the Government's strategic efforts to stimulate trade, attract investment, and integrate more deeply into regional and global value chains. Rooted in the country's long-standing commitment to economic development and regional cooperation, the Free Trade Zone was conceived as a catalyst for industrialization, export growth, and private sector empowerment.
