| 释义 |
Legacy productionFollowing the 1994 Rwandan genocide, the new RPF government divested Kabuye Sugar Works, the only sugar factory in the country to the Madhvani Group of Uganda, in exchange for US$1.5 million. The factory produces between 10,000 to 15,000 metric tomes of brown sugar every year.[3] The difference is imported from Uganda and from distant places including China and South America.[4] New planned productionThe Madhvani Group plans to increase production at Kabuye to 55,000 metric tonnes annually. The upgrade involves new investment worth US$75 million (about Rwf60 billion), by the group. It includes the construction of a co-generation thermal power station with capacity of {{convert|12|MW|0}} and an ethanol production facility with capacity of {{convert|6000000|litre|0}} annually. More land is required to grow more cane to meet this goal. The government of Rwanda and the Madhvani Group have held discussions to bring this plan to fruition.[3] In August 2016, the government signed a memorandum of understanding with investors from Mauritius, to establish a new sugar factory in the Eastern Province of Rwanda, at an estimated cost of between US$250 million and US$300 million. Approximately {{convert|8000|acre|0}} of land is required to form a nucleus plantation, with out-growers supplying the rest of the required cane. A co-generation power plant with capacity of {{convert|25|MW|0}} is planned. Production capacity at this new facility is planned at 100,000 metric tonnes annually.[2] See also
