Kakira Sugar Limited is Uganda’s leading processor of sugarcane, with a state-of-the-art fully integrated complex to add value to every by-product.
Kakira crushes over 2 million tonnes of cane per year to produce:
• Over 180,000 tonnes of sugar, half the national sugar production
• 51 MW of green electric power from bagasse – the residue from cane crushing
• Over 20 million litres of high-quality ethanol from molasses
• Premium potable spirits – an award-winning range of gin, rum and vodka
• Sweets and confectioneries
Our core product, Kakira Sugar, is extracted from cane grown on lush plantations on the fertile shores of Lake Victoria. The sweet crystals, with their distinctive flavour and rich golden colour, have sweetened foods and beverages all over Uganda since the 1930s.
Kakira is the flagship enterprise of a diverse portfolio of affiliates that make up the Madhvani group.
