Komenda Sugar Development Company Limited[1] (also known as Komenda Sugar Factory) is a Ghanaian factory established in 1964 and its operations ground to a halt in the early 1990s. This was due to poor management and technical issues.[2]

In 2016, Government secured a $35 million loan from the Indian Export-Import Bank, followed by an additional $24 million investment to revamp the operations of the sugar factory.[3]

Revival

[edit]

The sugar factory collapsed and it was inaugurated by the erstwhile John Mahama government in 2016.[4][5][6] This was made possible by a loan facility of 35 million dollars from an Indian EXIM Bank.[7]
