The Kenyan Sisal EstatesThe group has two sisal estates in Kenya with a total sisal fibre production from these estates of over 11,000 tonnes per annum representing more than half of Kenya's total estate fibre production. The Vipingo Estate is located about 30kms north of Kenya's second city, Mombasa, and has a land area of 3,950 hectares. The annual sisal fibre production of Vipingo exceeds 5,000 tonnes. Vipingo is renowned for its high quality very white fibre which enables it to produce the now rarely produced No 1 and No 2 grades. All fibre from the Kenyan estates is exported though the port of Mombasa in Kenya. The Tanzanian EstatesThe group owns two sisal estates in Tanzania - the Mwera and Sakura estates, located approximately 70 kilometers south of Tanga in north eastern Tanzania. These estates are owned by Amboni Plantations Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of REA Vipingo Plantations Limited. The Tanzania estates produce around 5,500 tonnes of sisal fibre per annum and - other than some fibre that is consumed in the Group's Amboni sisal spinning mill - it is all exported through the port of Tanga.
