Tongaat has said it is banking on the newly completed Tokwe-Mukosi Dam to increase production.
ZIMBABWE’S largest sugar producer, Tongaat Hulett (Tongaat), is set to double its land under sugarcane by opening up an additional 15 000 hectares for irrigation using water from the Tokwe-Mukosi Dam.
In a move likely to significantly increase production, the sugar producer last week called for interested parties to tender for conventional land preparation for 10 plots owned by its subsidiaries, Hippo Valley and Triangle.
