Cane millersA.3. Improved nationalinfrastructureThere are opportunities to improve sucroserecovery in the mills and to reduce operatingcosts in the areas of personnel and energyExpansion of cane growing areas will allowexpanding milling capacityHauling and transport of cane are significantcomponents of sugar cost2. Explore the use of alternative forms of energy Co-generation3. Improve and expand the system of tarmac roads in the Lowveld Roads upgradingConstruction of bridges4. Improve Maputo freight handling facilities5. Expand bagging capacity6. Expand refining capacity7. Reduce the cost of public utilities and improve their efficiency8.
