The government is continuing with its investment strategy to spur growth in the agro-processing sector and is investing some $25 million in Region Six in this regard. 

The $25 million is being invested to construct, complete, retrofit, and equip, an agro-processing plant in the Indigenous village of Orealla located in Region Six, to produce cassava-based and other processed products, a Department of Public Information (DPI) release stated yesterday.
