Good post from DShox on the AAAP board. Think it has a lot of relevance for AfriAg:
Thanks. In terms of finance, Comarco's subsidiary Touchwood will need access to competitive funding for the LPG facility, which are very much in demand now as they are quick to build and solve a nation's energy needs economically. See below from RNS:

Touchwood’s major asset is a 4.75-acre strip of land at the Comarco port in Mombasa, Kenya, which a recognised global real estate consultant has recently valued at US$12 million. Amongst Comarco’s existing client base of Marubeni, Halliburton and ENI, amongst others, Touchwood has recently signed an agreement with a large international trading and transportation group focused on liquefied petroleum gas (“LPG”), whereby an LPG import and distribution facility will be constructed on the Touchwood property.

Note also reference to the total land package held by Comarco and the multipurpose use of the port, which will basically allow AAAP to export its agriproducts out of the port.

Including the Touchwood property, Comarco has a total 16 acres at its privately held Mombasa port facility, where it carries out its current port and marine logistics business (which the new LPG facility only adds to). Comarco’s port is a gateway to East and Southern Africa, assisting with a diverse range of commodities ranging from, amongst others, iron ore to agricultural products, and is well placed to take advantage of the upswing in the region, particularly regarding oil and gas logistics.

Finally, DL has a passion for cannabis and I expect the story of this port and this first deal is going to develop. We could be seeing the beginnings of multiple integrations into AAAP.
