The factory, built at a cost of 30 billion Fbu, is being built to meet a need for packaging and blowtorches, following the establishment of the Imena Soma Usubire Company in Kayanza, which manufactures beer.

The President appreciated the businessman’s degree of vision, pointing out that he built the plant after helping the people of Kayanza by giving them a market for their bananas.
He called on Burundian businessmen to work together and find ways of building a factory to process iron ore and other minerals for export.
He pointed out that Vision 2040 could be achieved in 2030 and Vision 2060 in 2040, if we worked at this pace.
