HIGH TECH INDUSTRIAL
COMPONENT
Of Industral Faith City Concept
MINI INDUSTRIAL PARK
INDUSTRIAL
COMPONENT
Five (5) major phases of the Industrial Component
The IFC project, encompassing an Industrial Free Zone Park (IFZP) concept, will involve the creation of the proposed Meinhardt High-tech production of fruits and vegetables in vertical farming concepts and the High-tech production of different species of fish for exports and local consumption; establishing food security and food sustainability for the nation and beyond.
The process will involve production, processing, packaging, and marketing to local markets, African markets and international markets.
Setting up agro processing facilities to process the huge crops grown in the Afram Plains North and South region as a result of the suitable arable soil and good weather conditions, for human consumption and animal feed.
These crops are: food crops; maize, yam, cassava, plantain, and cash crops; cocoa, coffee, cashew, oil palm, citrus and cola.
The IFC vision city encompasses our extended Industrial Free Zone Park [IFZP] of rental secured storage warehouses [RSSW], providing storage services for goods such as luxury cars, special furniture, high-tech equipment, and other luxurious properties, ie;
The Industrial Park providing manufacturing; small to medium, packaging services; small to medium, and professional secretarial services to Government and the private sector–– nationally and internationally.
Construction of Pipeline
To construct a 30km water pipeline from the Volta Lake up all the way through the land to the District Capital of Tease, as shown in the diagram below
Benefits/Prospects
This pipeline construction by IFCMG Team will make it possible to provide and sell irrigated water to farmlands (estimated at 90,000 hectares) all-year long to the faring communities of the district through pipelines from the Volta Lake.
Potential Tourism Resort Development
The Afram Plains South district is endowed with natural tourist attractions which can be marketed across the globe to tourists for their vacations. The huge Afram Plains River can offer water sports of any kind, the Kwahu Mountain overlooking the district can also offer mountain-climbing for lovers of the sport, a zip line can be developed from the mountain to the ground, and cable cars can be developed. There is a forest game reserve in the district; a safari drive can also be developed. There is land for golf course development among others.
International Resort and Conference Center
There is the potential to turn the lakeside into an international conference and resort center (as shown in picture).
