The presentation highlighted the agricultural renewable energy potential as being co-generation from use of bagasse, and bio-ethanol production from molasses or sugar juice.
Illovo acknowledges that African Governments, past and present, under provide services especially in the rural areas. Therefore, Illovo has of necessity to sustain and support the communities in which it works. The areas of support are infrastructure, health centres, schools and training. In addition technical assistance is provided to the sugar cane farming community. The case study of the Kilombero outgrower scheme (Tanzania) was shown which had been supported by Kilombero and the International Finance Corporation -SME.
Proceedings This presentation is part of the proceedings from the Partners for Africa meeting held in Lusaka in December 2004. See the library item here.
