Conakry, Guinea
From November 1997 through March 1998, ASE International and ASE Guinea developed a poultry farm project proposal in consultation with the Ministry of Fishery & Livestock of Guinea. The project proposal was approved and endorsed in March 1998 by the Ministry of Fishery & Livestock. ASE International was then mandated by the Ministry of Fishery & Livestock to identify the appropriate technical partner and american investors to operate the proposed poultry farm in Guinea through an American-Guinean joint venture.
In March 1998, the Ministry of Fishery & Livestock mandated ASE International to organize an Investment Forum in Atlanta to secure further operating capital funds in the United States for the Guinean SAKOBA shrimp farm. The SAKOBA shrimp farm, established in 1996, has a production capacity of 1,800 tons per year.
