Frequent power outages are severely disrupting a banana production and processing unit operated by The African Food Company in Guijá. Company managers reported approximately twenty daily power cuts, which hinder the operation of irrigation systems and processing equipment.
The concerns were presented to Gaza’s governor, Margarida Mapanzene, during her monitoring visit. Governor Mapanzene acknowledged the electricity supply problem without detailing specific government measures to address it.
She commended the company for its performance and local socio-economic impact, encouraging it to expand its cultivation areas to better supply the domestic market and future exports. The African Food Company currently cultivates 115 hectares of its 600-hectare property and employs 250 permanent and seasonal workers.
