Kakira Sugar is extracted from cane grown on lush plantations on the shores of Lake Victoria. The sweet, sparkling crystals with their distinctive taste and flavour, and rich golden colour, have sweetened dishes all over Uganda since the 1930s!This is the business sector in which the Group commenced its activities in East Africa and remains an area of core competence for the Group.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.Under the Group's management, the Kakira sugar complex was fully rehabilitated with financing of US$ 60 million from the World Bank, the African Development Bank.
