This project will finance the provision of storage facilities for cotton, the country’s primary cash crop, in order to meet substantial increases in production and to optimize ginning and transport processes. Twenty-three warehouses will be constructed with a total storage capacity of 26,450 tons, and built with fire and damp-proof materials to prevent losses.
