The Caprivi Region is richly endowed with fertile land and plenty of water necessary for crop farming. In 2001, the Government commissioned a study into the feasibility of a sugar cane plantation and milling plant in this Region. The Lake Liambezi area has been identified as the suitable project site.

• A 10,000 ha of sugar cane plantation to be irrigated with water pumped from Zambezi River at a peak delivery of 11 m³/s of water via a 33km canal. The cultivation land could be expanded to 15 000 ha of cane requiring a water peak delivery of 14.1 m³/s;
• A sugar milling factory and refinery to process 6 000 tons of cane and 250 tons of refined sugar per day;
• Development of physical infrastructure such as the main water canal, distribution canals, dikes, pump stations, roads and housing.
