The intention was to cultivate sugarcane and construct a sugar factory.
Overall comment
The sugar factory in the Savelugu municipality is part of the government's One district One factory (1D1F) programme. Unclear whether the interest was prior to or after the announcement of the sugar plantation and refinery to be established in Angola- case already added. The Ghana Government will be responsible for funding the front end engineering design for the agricultural estate, conduct the environmental impact assessment, and also facilitate the acquisition of land and permits while the Japanese company is expected to facilitate the funding arrangement for both the sugar estate and the sugar plantation.

Currently, there is no information that land has been developed and a factory built. Recent information indicates investor expressed interest but none started work on the land
