Comment on in country processing of produce
The development of regional infrastructure, such as roads, modular mills, a bagasse plant, lime quarry and port, to support the production of sugar cane is planned by 2025. This infrastructure will support the development of supplementary crops such as rice, maize, soy beans, avocados and citrus, optimising the commercial value of the agribusinesses and help to fulfil regional food security requirements.
