The project includes the development of 6,000 hectares of oil palm, the construction of a palm oil factory with an ultimate capacity of 70,000 tons per year, the preparation of 6,000 hectares for annual crop production, and the construction of roads and other infrastructure. The project would be executed by SONADER, a Government-controlled company created in 1962. SONADER, which has already organized the planting of improved oil palms on a cooperative basis on some 13,000 hectares, is a completely Africanized organization displaying a high level of competence and efficiency both at head office and in the field. SONADER, which has gained considerable experience in the organization and management of producer cooperatives, is capable of handling an expanded program including the proposed project.
