The factory is expected to be operational in March. A Denmark- based NGO has invested

K75 million for the drying plant, which will include a cold storage facility. Construction work on the factory began in May last year. The crop drying plant is being implemented by the Ho Nam Company, which was formed with 24 local farmers. The crop drying machine at the plant will dry up to 1.5 tons of crops in a single process.
