I inspected the progress of work at Imota Rice Mill today and I’m happy to announce that barring any exigency, the 32-metric ton per hour Rice Mill will start production before the end of the first quarter in 2022.
We are working to meet the deadline for the pre-production test run and working to see how quickly we can ramp up work on the storage facility, which has the capacity to take production of up to three to six months. There are 16 silos which have a combined capacity of 40,000 metric tons.
I have been assured that construction work on the storage facilities would be completed in one month, after which major cleanup would commence across the site in preparation for production test run.
We are very excited with how far we have gone on the construction and we believe all the contractors are working collaboratively to ensure the deadlines set are met.
