What is the role of Spire USA Inc. within the ABCDE City Projects?
Spire USA Inc is the:
- REBIFT (Recirculation Bio-floc technology) and BAMM (Backyard Macrobiotic Module) technology owner.
- Project Promoter as the partner to the PPP (Public-private Partnership Program) undertakes to set up the project on a Turn Key BOT ( Build-Operate-Transfer) basis.
- Project Consultant and Project Manager until the project is transferred to the beneficiary as a debt free, sustainable, and commercially viable venture at the end of contracted period of time.
Why do we require a local agent and what is its role?
The presence of a Local Agent is mandatory, as the Project Promoter (Spire USA Inc.) does not maintain a local presence. Spire contracts the entire management of the ABCDE City Project utilizing an expatriate management team with technicians, with the function of the buy-back agreement to guarantee the market for the harvested produce. For Spire to succeed in their obligations, the local agent must wholly undertake the local management aspect of the project.
What relies on the success of the ABCDE City Project?
- Management of human resources and the entire production by Spire USA Inc and the local Agent.
- Marketing of end products in the international organic markets through Buy-Back Agreement of Spire USA Inc.
- Management of Quality of both local input of raw materials and the output to the international markets.
- Maintaining the consistency of produce in terms of quality and quantity through management techniques and maintenance of technology by Spire USA Inc and the local Agent.
- The implementation of innovative technologies and critical processes through Spire's ongoing Research and Development.
