Phase 1 · Anchor
Rice mill complexPaddy intake, parboiling, grading, silos — the fastest line to domestic revenue
Phase 1
Canned fish factoryMulti-species line, cold storage, sterilisation — value retained onshore
Phase 1
Caustic soda plant, Pillar BMembrane chlor-alkali unit; sized by market study, built once the site is proven
Phase 2

Cross-phase
The approach
De-risk, then scale
Phase 1 is anchored on the cassava chain — land under MOU, offtaker under MOU, feedstock basin proven — plus the fastest-to-revenue rice and fish lines. Pillar B follows once the site is proven.
Financing structure
- A blended equity-and-debt structure, tailored per facility
- DFI participation + export-credit-backed equipment finance
- Anchor offtake LOIs open DFI and export-credit channels
- Offtake conversion is priority one, it directly underpins debt capacity
Full capital ranges, phasing, and West African benchmarks are set out in the business plan, available on request under NDA.
