According to a report published by Diario Nuevo Sur, as a result of the national government allocation of more than USD 100 million in the acquisition of compressed natural gas cylinders, Yacuiba Administration set out the solution of manufacturing these pieces of equipment in the Gran Chaco Region.
“That’s our challenge now. I think that Tarija and Gran Chaco today cannot waste this opportunity; the worst that can happen to us is watching this possibility from a distance, but we should get involved,” said the official. He also raised the possibility of forming a joint venture between public and private organizations to run the installation of the cylinder plant and pave the way for industrialization.
On September, Arnez had said that the investment in the project, which would be conducted next year, could reach USD 45 million.
