The photos in this section depict the various buildings and infrastructure currently in place at the headquarters site. The existing commercial buildings will be suitable for Amerigui Plantation's needs in the early stages of the project, but modern structures will a full complement of features will be required once the scale and scope of the project eclipses a certain level of activity.
This is a panoramic view taken from the cluster of twelve 3-bedroom houses. The building in the center is used as an office building by the military. A rice vending kiosk is to the left, with the rice mill building to the rear.
This is the former cafeteria building. It has room to seat about 50 persons, along with some office and pantry storage space. A small area in the rear once accommodated a first aid station, complete with a patient's room and nurse's quarters.
Amerigui Plantation plans to use the building to the left as a diesel generator and fuel shed. The warehouse building to the right will host feed milling equipment and provide flat storage warehouse space for 50 kg bags of poultry feed. Fertilizers, seed, and chemicals needed on the farm may also be stored here.
This open structure was designed to be a farm machinery repair shed. An enclosed cement room provides security for tools and supplies storage. A beam in the ceiling is fitted for use as a hoist. A second cement block room serves as a residence for one of Amerigui Plantation's employees.
This water tower is about 50' in height. The electrical service and water pumps are no longer present, so getting potable water established again will require a fair amount of work. At this site fresh water can be found at around 25' in depth. The headquarters site is about three miles from the Atlantic coast, with mostly brackish water found between this site and the ocean.
Another general view of the headquarters site, as seen from the rear of the office building and looking towards the rice mill building, existing generator shed, and open equipment shed. The 50' antenna tower could be refurbished to support a private radio network covering the project's property.
This building houses the rice mill and will also serve as a secure farm machinery storage and repair shop until a proper maintenance shop is built about one-half mile away on the farm. The large farm machinery to be used at Amerigui Plantation requires much wider roads, gates, and maneuvering area than what is currently in place at the headquarters site.
Electrical generators are located in the building behind the fuel tanks. These generators provide electrical power to the rice mill and housing units at the headquarters site, but only one remains operational. The very high cost of fuel forces the military personnel to use the generator only intermittently, such as for welding or other machinery repairs.
This is the paddy rice receiving pit inside the mill building.
Paddy rice buffer tanks supply the rice milling machinery.
At 2-mts/hour installed capacity, this rice milling equipment will serve Amerigui Plantation's needs for about five years. By that time enough acres will be in production to warrant more milling capacity. 
This open shed provides cover for smaller farm machinery at Monchon. The support poles are too closely spaced to accommodate most of the machinery planned for use at Monchon, but the structure does have its role to serve for smaller items.
This is one of twelve 3-bedroom, 2-bath cement homes at the headquarters site near the rice mill. The houses are in decent structural condition, but need electrical, water, and kitchen services refurbished before use by Amerigui Plantation's foreign workers.
