As consumer demand for locally processed commodities accelerates across the region, capital raised from the commercial paper tranche will be deployed toward core operational expansion.

Proceeds will finance the installation of advanced milling, grading, and packaging lines designed to increase domestic value addition for key agricultural exports like cashew and sesame. Funds will also support expanded raw material procurement programs, enabling tighter integration with local smallholder farming cooperatives and stabilizing seasonal supply flows. Additionally, investments target modern warehousing and cold-chain facilities to minimize post-harvest loss and improve export-readiness for international markets.

Market participants noted that the success of the hybrid commercial paper offering demonstrates the viability of short-term corporate debt instruments in mobilizing domestic and regional liquidity for industrial agricultural development.
