Nzoia Sugar Company, Ltd. Phase 2 Expansion Study, 3000 MTCD to 7000 MTCD.

摘要

The report examines the expansion of the Nzoia Sugar Factory from 3000 tons cane per day capacity to 7000 tons cane per day capacity. In the execution of the study the Nzoia cane producing area was carefully evaluated. The Nzoia factory expansion was then developed to accomodate the expanded cane supply. The study determined that there is sufficient land in the Nzoia area (within 32 km radius of the factory) to provide sufficient cane for the factory to expand to 7000 tons cane per day capacity. The proposed expansion project for Nzoia affords Kenya the opportunity for the most rapid increase in sugar production at the least cost. 85% of the U.S. supplied goods and services would be financed by a direct loan from the Export-Import Bank of the United States, and the remaining non-Kenyan currency loan requirements would be provided by a hard currency loan from the East African Development Bank (EADB).
