{{Cassava farmers in Ruhango District and entire Southern Province are expected to improve their yields following the inauguration of a Cassava Processing Plant in the area.}}<\/p>\n
The Plant worth US$ 10Million funded by Rwanda Development Bank was Inaugurated last week.<\/p>\n
Robert Runazi, the plant manager, said the factory has capacity to process 60 tons of cassava for 20 tons of flour per day according to the standards required.<\/p>\n
“We envision that the remaining 40 tons are used in the manufacture of starch, animal feeds and in protecting the environment,” he added.<\/p>\n
A kilo of cassava will be sold at Frw50 as factory price.<\/p>\n
Jack Kayonga the Chief Executive Officer of the Rwanda Development Bank (BRD), said that the factory had been promised by the president during his last visit to Kinazi.<\/p>\n
“The factory cost US$10million funded by BRD. However, we plan to sell shares to the public in the next days,” said Kayonga.<\/p>\n
The Mayor of Ruhango district said the factory has just solved the problem of cassava production in large quantities in the region.<\/p>\n
BRD was established August 5, 1967. On April 26, 2011, the Rwanda Development Bank officially acquired the Housing Bank of Rwanda (BHR) at a ceremony organized by the Minister of Finance and Economic Planning, John Rwangombwa.<\/p>\n
The objective of this acquisition is to achieve sustainable growth by making BRD stronger and better positioned to provide long-term loans, housing mortgages, refinancing and other financial services that will improve the access to financing in Rwanda.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
