It is expected that to kick-start this project a loan financing of K2.4 m will be required,The required finance is sought from Commercial banks.

Attached is the proposal to the ESP Administration to take part in spin-off activities inthe area of:1. Fresh Food Marketing2. Poultry Farming (for Meat and Eggs)3. Piggery, and4. Make its 47 parcels of land at Yawasoro available for residential or housing purposes.Kreer Village with Paul Samore, Karaga clan; Herman Samore, Karaga clan; Jeves Hoibi; JacobElaxo. The original name of the land where the loinery sits is Hufuk. They saw no writtenmaterials about the loinery before it arrived. No compensation was given for the ground, or forenvironmental changes. They consider the site an important fish breeding ground. There weredifferent species of plants, mangroves and sago palms growing there. Most importantly, it is thehome of Busua the masalai snake and Soran the blak bokis. During the negotiations for theloinery the Habours Board and the Provincial Government met with the Kreer people anddiscussed the land. They came to a compromise and the Kreer people gave their blessing for theland to be developed. However it was Francis Sumanup’s idea that they shift to Saure atyawasoro because it is State land. He also indicated that the Kreer gave their blessing. It was tooswampy and Yawasoro is dry and better suited. On the other hand, if the loinery were built inYawasoro electricity would be expensive to extend down there; building a waste disposal drainwould be difficult; trucks carrying fish from the wharf to the factory would be a health hazardand the ice could melt; and there would be roadworthiness precautions.65
