Rwanda to establish garment and footwear factories in Kigali

13/09/2016
Rwanda’s Ministry of Trade and Industry (MINICOM) has signed an agreement with two African companies to build garment and footwear factories in the Kigali Special Economic Zone (KSEZ).

The two companies involved in the project are Albert Supply Rwanda and RWANTAN. They have signed a 5-year land lease agreement with MINICOM and will each receive 2.5 hectares of land on which to build, according to local media reports.

Albert Supply Rwanda will set up a garment factory, making items from cotton, leather and others materials. The RWANTAN facility will produce leather shoes and belts.

"I thank the investors who are present for being committed towards supporting the government's long-term programme of promoting garment and footwear factories,” said François Kanimba, Rwanda’s Trade Minister.
