The revival of the sugar cane sector is among the key challenges in reconstructing SIRANALA. SIRANALA could finally rise from the ashes. The president of the Refoundation of the Republic of Madagascar, Colonel Michaël Randrianirina, announced last week a possible revival of this sugar complex in Analaiva, Morondava. According to the PRRM, a foreign investor will soon arrive in the country as part of a project to turn around this sugar mill. Rather, it is a total reconstruction, since the riots of 2014, practically nothing remains of SIRANALA. The strike by employees of the Chinese company managing SIRANALA, followed by sociopolitical movements, had devastated everything. The destruction of much of the production equipment, the theft of metal parts and electrical installations, the complete halt of production constitute significant events in SIRANALA's recent history, which is currently in payment default. In short, the challenge for the refoundation government and the announced investor will be to get this unit back on track, which fortunately still has significant potential. If the project actually succeeds, its socioeconomic benefits could be substantial both regionally and nationally. These include thousands of direct and indirect jobs expected, the revival of sugar cane cultivation, development of transport, creation of maintenance and service activities, and especially the reduction of sugar imports. A reconstruction that will not be easy, as it will require extensive work such as rebuilding structures, importing all industrial equipment, and upgrading electrical and hydraulic networks. Regarding the turnaround project, the PRRM announced an investment of 70 million dollars over a preliminary period of approximately 18 to 24 months. A story to follow.
