Challenge

Can the infrastructure sustain this level of Growth ?

How do we reduce reliance on a

What makes the KASCOL PPP

Model attractive

• Government acquired the land

• Zambia Sugar facilitated bulk water supply

• CDC facilitated management.

Opportunities

• Transfer of Technology (Flood to Drip Irrigation

• Power generation

• Slow Pyrolysis plant (Charcoal Briquettes)

• Diversification

Unlocking potential requires funding

• Country Accreditation to access Green Climate Fund

• Power purchase agreements (wheel power into grid)

• Securing long term supply agreement
