chief executive's message
My district is currently seeking serious and highly industrious sustainable investors to transform its cashew and crop industry into a large scale commercial venture, as processing is required to encourage farmers to produce more and reap from their labour.
The district also needs local and foreign entrepreneurs to upscale its clay industry and tourism potentials.
