SAGERA ESTATES LTD

Sisal is a plant originally from Yucatan, Mexico. The salient feature of this crop is that unlike any other agricul- ture crop it is highly drought resistance and can survive under extreme conditions. The planting and harvest- ing can be done throughout the year. From the time SEL took over the Estate and Assets in 2007, a new life has been injected to transform the sisal business value chain into sustainable growth. The current annual produc- tion is 1200 tons. The SEL has replanted extensively since 2007 and expected to substantially increase the out- put in the coming years. The principle business of the company is into sisal cultivation and production of natural fibre.

SEL proudly owns Lugongo estate in the promising Tanga region spread over 3669 Hectares. Almost 1800 Ha area is available for proposed expansion and replanting. The projects envisage at putting the available area under sisal culti- vation and also initiate to replant the older areas. The finished fibre has wide variety of applications such as twine & ropes, pulp & paper, textiles, pharmaceuticals, building materials, bio-gas and also used as plastic and rubber composites.
