TONGAAT-HULETT RE-COMMISSIONS A SUGAR MILL IN MOZAMBIQUE
Tongaat-Hulett will be holding a ceremony to mark the Re-Commissioning of its
rehabilitated Sugar Mill at Xinavane in Mozambique on the 6th June 2003. The
Xinavane Sugar mill, jointly owned by Tongaat-Hulett Sugar (49%) and the
Government of Mozambique (51%), is situated approximately 136km North- West of
Maputo. The replacement value of the Sugar Mill and surrounding sugar cane
estates (6 300 hectares) is estimated to be well in excess of R500 million.
In the 2003 season the Xinavane Sugar Mill will produce 52 000 tons of VHP raw
sugar crushing at 132 tons cane per hour in a 30-week crushing season. Plans are
in progress to expand the factory to 150 tons cane per hour by 2005 increasing
the capacity to 70 000 tons of sugar in a 30-week crushing season. In the
longer term there are plans to double the annual capacity of the Mill to 140 000
tons sugar.
His Excellency, the President of the Republic of Mozambique Joaquim Alberto
Chissano, will open the rehabilitated Mill.
