·
Alcohol
production from final molasses. It includes:

Installation
of distilling systems for the production of extra fine alcohol in existing
distilleries with a capacity of 500 Hl day, or in the ports receiving distilled
crude alcohol from tributary distilleries.

and modernization of existing distilleries with capacities from 500 to 800
Hl/day.
·
New
distillery with a 800 Hl/ day capacity for the
production of fine and extra-fine alcohol destined to exports.
·
Expansion
and modernization of existing facilities for the production of rum and other
alcoholic beverages.
·
Associations created in
order to fulfill the country's purpose of tripling the production of alcoholic
beverages and consolidating the domestic hard currency market, thus preparing
national producers for future exports. Introduction of new brand names for
spirituous liquors in the international market.
·
Bagasse based agglomerate boards
plant. It comprises:
·
Production
of agglomerate boards from bagasse particles in
existing plants. German technology from the
manufacturer BISON. Production capacities between 45 - 75,000 m³/year.

Projects
of power cogeneration:
1.
Construction
of a new 25-50 MW thermal power plant, by eliminating the sugar mill's existing
power block and building an independent power block with highly efficient
operation parameters. This unit would receive from the sugar mill all the bagasse and would give in return low-pressure steam
(extraction) and electricity. Most of the generated electricity would be
commercialized through the national grid.
2.
New
5-10 MW turbo generator. The surplus steam is intended to be used in order to
generate electricity by means of installing a new condensation generator. This
would allow to reduce 25-40% of electricity consumption compared to current
levels, as well as to commercialize the electricity surplus production to the
national grid or any other specific territorial consumer.
During the no-harvest
period, this thermal power unit could use as fuel bagasse
stored from neighboring sugar mills. sugar cane
harvesting wastes or any other fossil fuel.
·
The existence of several institutions attached to the
Ministry of the Sugar Industry that render industrial and agricultural services
applicable to production processes as well as to projects and technical
assistance, offers other opportunities linked to the electro-mechanic and
metalworking industry, construction and installation, technical services and
food production.
