An opportunity is available in Suriname to establish a cocoa processing plant to process local and/or imported cultivated cocoa beans. With increasing international demand of cocoa and cocoa products, this is a potentially lucrative opportunity with added social benefits for Suriname. The project will implement sustainable production of cocoa beans in the most efficient way, while keeping high standards for the environment and providing employment opportunities, as the cocoa bean processing industry is labour intensive.
The facility that is envisaged will be located on a one hectare site. With 45 employees the plant will be able to produce 460,000 kg of liquor per annum. An investment of US$7,676,234 will be required to establish the facility. With a minimum project life of 20 years, the payback period is expected to be 11 years and 9 months. An average annual profit of US$300,000 is projected for the investment.
Suriname is a country with extensive natural resources, cultivated land, affordable energy and fresh water. The climate is well suited to agricultural activities such cultivation of cocoa, rice bananas.
“KPMG sees Suriname as a country full of potential. Suriname has proven to realize economic growth while the world was in the financial and economic crisis. There are all the ingredients to accommodate long term growth: abundant natural resources, safe working environment, improving investment climate and a motivated and skilled workforce.”
