- This Company was formed in 1985 as a Joint Venture between the Madhvani Group and the Government of Uganda to take over the assets of Madhvani Sugar Works Ltd., which was the Group’s flagship prior to 1972. At the time of take-over in 1985, owing to the economic turmoil in the intervening years as well as inadequate management whilst under Government control, the factory was no longer in production and most of the nucleus estate had reverted to bush.
- The sugar factory has been expanded steadily and is currently operating at a crushing capacity of 6,000 Tons Cane per Day [“TCD”] during a 10.5 month crushing season. A confectionery factory within the complex also produces a variety of sweets and toffees and other confectionery items.
- Sugar-cane is cultivated on the company’s own nucleus estate of over 9,700 hectares (Ha) but the majority of the cane is supplied from 6,000 outgrower farmers with more than 18,000 hectares under cane, for production of 150,000 Tons of sugar per year – making this Uganda’s largest sugar producer.
- Kabuye Sugar Works, with about 60 percent of sugarcane plantations inaccessible.According to the factory’s General Manager, NB Gohil, the floods have brought work to a standstill and the crops exposed to diseases due to silt.“We risk problems in our sugar production next year because 80 percent of the estates have been affected by the floods,” However he could not readily tell the magnitude of the effect.Gohil explained that the heavy rains which started in mid November will affect next year’s harvest.
- The affected areas are mainly marshlands along the Nyabarongo River and Akanyaru River. The sugar factory co-owns the plantations without growers. “Heavy rains are discouraging us from increasing our investment in the sugarcane because we have nothing much to prevent the floods; we are only praying that they subside,” commented one out grower,
