First Shipment of Cashew Milling Equipment
Dekel Agri-Vision Plc, the West African focused agriculture
company, is pleased to announce that it has been advised by Italian
manufacturer, Oltremare Srl, that the first shipment of milling
equipment for its large scale cashew processing project at
Tiebissou in Côte d'Ivoire (the 'Project'), has departed Italy. The
shipment is expected to arrive at the port of Abidjan in Côte
d'Ivoire in approximately four weeks.
The shipment, which is the first of four due to be despatched
from Italy, comprises 12 containers and includes electrical, dryer,
steam roasting and workshop equipment. The remaining three
shipments of milling equipment are expected to be shipped and
delivered to Côte d'Ivoire in the coming months. Further updates on
all four shipments will be provided to the market in due
course.
As previously announced, a turnkey contract for the engineering,
manufacture, delivery, installation and commissioning of the
Project, together with the training of personnel, was awarded to
UK-based engineering company Overseas Projects & Services
Limited ('OPSL'), a related entity of Oltremare Srl. Under the
terms of the turnkey contract, OPSL will deliver the plant,
including storage and factory buildings, processing machinery and
utilities once it has been fully tested and commissioned which is
expected in Q2 2021. At this point Tiebissou will become Dekel's
second producing project, alongside its well-established palm oil
operation at Ayenouan in Côte d'Ivoire.
Dekel Agri-Vision Executive Director Lincoln Moore said, "The
departure of the first shipment of milling hardware from Italy
closely follows the arrival of infrastructure equipment at Abidjan
from China. The development of our large-scale cashew processing
project at Tiebissou is gaining momentum and remains on track to be
commissioned in Q2 2021. I look forward to providing further
updates on our progress as we focus on bringing our second
agriculture project in Côte d'Ivoire into production and at the
same time scale up and diversify our revenues and end markets."
