British delegation explores investment opportunities in Gabon's energy, infrastructure, and poultry sectors

The delegation met with Vice-President of the Government Hermann Immongault, expressing interest in key sectors such as energy, infrastructure, digital technology, and poultry production. Immongault highlighted strategic priorities, including the Mitougou dam project in Nyanga province, aimed at improving access to water and electricity. The British companies visited major economic sites like the Nkok Special Investment Zone and Owendo port, holding working sessions with Gabonese authorities on road infrastructure, mineral processing, gas, and digital development projects.

Atam Sandhu, head of the Commonwealth delegation, noted this was his third mission, indicating progress and the finalization of agreements aligned with Gabon's vision. The Gabonese government also emphasized its goal of reducing food import dependency, inviting British investors to participate in local poultry production, with an aim to ban imported broiler chicken by 2027. The Gabonese side called for continued dialogue with partners to support the country's development, as international investors show increasing interest in Gabon's economic diversification efforts.
