Maran, St. John’s (The project will be collocated with an existing Government propagation facility)
The goal of the project is to develop a diversified, productive, self sufficient and profitable agricultural sector by incorporating the use of bio-technology methodologies.
The principal objective of the project is to be able to mass propagate crops for the resuscitation of the agricultural sector in this the post Ivan period.
The project entails the following: The construction of 3025 sq. ft Biotechnology Centre, Adequate equipping of the centre to ensure a capacity to annually produce 580,000 units of planting materials for the local market and 510,000 units for the export market at peak levels. Generating a gross profit of at least ECD$270,000 by the ending of year five (5) and ECD$618,000 by the ending of year eight (8).
The Centre will not become fully productive in its first year due to the time lag between the initial selection of the tissue culture and the production of a fully hardened plant (approx 8 to 9 months).

Construction of the centre is expected to take approximately one (1) year.
Preliminary estimates indicate a cost of approximately USD$2, 033,165

Café, St. George’s
African Sunrise focuses on the production of herbal soap, hair and skin care products.
African Sunrise and Caribbean Sunrise are two product divisions which propose to provide the highest quality natural skin care products in the Eastern Caribbean. A variety of skin care products ranging from herbal soaps;, shampoo and conditioner; body lotion, hair grease, foot scrubs and shaving supplies will be manufactured by incorporating 100% natural ingredients or chemicals derived from all natural sources for optimum skin and hair care.
The business will also develop and produce products for other companies in the skin care market. The immediate goal is to not only produce high quality skin and hair care products but to create an industry and set standards that have not been exploited to its fullest potential in the region. The ultimate long term goal is to create a brand that becomes a household name with several subsidiaries expanding into the global market.
Grenada is considered an ideal place to undertake such an investment due to the fact that there are currently no businesses of this nature which produce these types of products. Additionally, a great demand exists for quality, reasonably priced natural skin and hair care products. The sister Company, of African Sunrise (Deen Allan Imports) has already opened up the market through its wholesale and retail of herbal hair and skin products.

Any Other Remarks:
Technical support from suppliers of machinery to undertake initial training of staff.
USD$156,000.00
