RETURN2GREEN VISITS LARGEST RICE MILL IN NORTHERN GHANA

Ms. Lily He of Return2Green International and Professor Zhou call on Minister of Food and Agriculture Regional Director and Council Members to introduce new technologies for manufacturing with agro-waste and distributed energy using agro-waste as fuel.

The group also visited Nasia Rice Co. Ltd, the largest rice mill in Northern Ghana, which was assisted by Africa Development Bank. Nasia Rice Co. Ltd produces 830,000 kg rice of chaff per month.


The factory is literally choking itself with rice chaff waste, a common problem with all rice producers.


Rice husks have to be shipped to distant locations to be burned, which costs money and creates harmful emissions.


Next, Ms. He and Prof. Zhou met with Chief Andani Abdulai II, director of Ghana Council for Scientific and Industrial Research to discuss the potentials of starting up Return2Green projects in different regions of Ghana.

Over the last 4 days, high level meetings have indicated a very strong interest in Return2Green project proposals. They are much needed and a great fit for Ghana’s rural areas and industries.
