The Development of a feasibility study for a 12000-Hectare Agricultural Development of Maize, Sunflower, Beans, and an Agri-City Project in the Kasai Region of Democratic Republic of Congo
Commissioned by Zorea Africa and executed by Sankofa Environmental and Agricultural Development (SEAD1), this high-impact project focused on the development of a comprehensive feasibility study and bankable business plan for a proposed 12,000-hectare agri-industrial development in the Kasai Region of the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Led by Dr. Harry Swatson and Dr. Kofi Quartey, the project involved rigorous technical, market, and financial analyses covering maize, sunflower, and bean production, alongside a visionary Agri-City model. This integrated approach aimed to unlock food security, agro-industrialization, and inclusive rural development in the region.
The study provided:
- Sector-specific market research, competition analysis, and profitability modeling
- Full financial projections, including ROI, cash flow, and bankability indicators
- Strategic operational frameworks, implementation timelines, and risk mitigation strategies
- A polished, investor-ready business plan and feasibility report to enable engagement with banks, DFIs, and private investors
