The multiphase project hopes to increase production in two phases : the first phase aimed to increase production capacity to 18.5mn tonnes per year as of December 2017 ; followed by a second phase with an increased capacity of 22.5mn tons by 2022
such as health , education , and basic infrastructure .
In June 2017 , CBG ’ s Board of Directors decided to increase its community development budget from about $ 600,000 per year to $ 2.5mn . With this in mind , the company signed a Memorandum of Understanding with CECI , an international organisation that combats poverty and exclusion through sustainable development projects . Through this partnership , the company has worked diligently to finance projects that will help local communities generate income and develop sustainably . One such health project that has seen visible results is the company ’ s commitment to counter the spread of malaria , a high risk to Guinean families throughout the year .
