WA AGRO & FOOD PROCESSING PARK

Wa Industrial Park is proposed in anticipation of the economic growth in the North-West the province is driven by the agriculture and mining sectors. The growth in agriculture and mining sectors will need supporting industries, such as services industries as well as agro-processing industries. The setting up of the industrial park is to ensure environmental control for the industries and to forge synergies among the industries. The land area for the industrial park is estimated to be around 100-150 ha

PROJECT COMPONENTS

Development of 150 ha Industrial Park with the following components:

  • Agro-processing industrial cluster
  • Services industrial cluster
  • Warehousing facilities
  • Supporting facilities and infrastructure.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT AND FINANCING

Considering its strategic role in the development of NSEZ, it is proposed to set up a Special Authority to develop and manage the industrial park in Wa. The authority is responsible to strategize, planning/designing, market, develop and manage the complex including the infrastructure development within the site. Although there are some commercial components (and revenue) in this project, it is still largely a government project to attract investment in manufacturing & logistics to boost the economic development of the NSEZ.

MILESTONE (IMPLEMENTATION SCHEDULE)

  • 2017/2018: Planning and land Consolidation.
  • 2017/2018: Feasibility Study & Project Phasing
  • 2018: Setting up of the Authority for the development.
  • 2019: Infrastructure Engineering design and building

design for the start-up phase.

  • 2019: Marketing.
  • 2020: Expected construction of the start-up phase

GOVERNMENT OBLIGATION

1. Identify and secure land for the industries, which is assessable from the main road. 2. Build infrastructure for the industrial park be around 100-150 ha

ESTIMATED COST AND REVENUE

The construction cost for the infrastructure should be kept to a minimum,
estimated at 40 USD/m2. For 150 ha, the infrastructure cost is estimated at 60
million USD. A start-up phase of 30 ha at 12 million USD is recommended.
