NGRADO will initially build a 500 ha soya and sunflower farm with mechanization and partial irrigation to guarantee supply to its processing facility. Provided that the market grows as it is expected and the infrastructure in Niassa improves, there is an opportunity to expand the farm to 3,000+ ha within ten years during Phase II of the project.
