Horticulture processing plant to open next month

Speaking at a press briefing here on Tuesday, Mokubung said the P6 million project, which was supposed to had started operating last year, was delayed by challenges beyond their control. He said the commissioning of the plant by suppliers from India is the main cause of delays to the opening of the plant. Mokubung, however, said the Indian partners are in Botswana and have commissioned the plant.

“Our partners from India are in Botswana now and they have commissioned the plant. They have also started to test the processing machines hence (we are) confident that the plant will be open early March,” he said.
