Are there any other potential clients for the gypsum produced in Same District?
What is the current daily usage of gypsum of the key customer, (For example, Tanga Cement PLC)?
Who is receiving revenues generated from the gypsum produced? Is there any appropriation?
How does the added value looks like in each of the steps of the (Global) value chain
In which way are governments involved with activities in the (Global) Value Chain (they are part of the institutional environment)
Are the local people communities based in Makanya Ward benefiting from the revenue generated?
