Our Leadership in Sugar Processing in Uganda
Sarrai Group combines modern agronomy, efficient milling, and rigorous quality assurance to deliver consistent crystals and reliable packaging formats. Our facilities meet Uganda National Bureau of Standards (UNBS) criteria and maintain traceability from estate and out-grower fields to finished packs. With thousands of registered out-grower farmers supported by extension officers, inputs, and logistics, we stabilize cane supply and raise yields across the value chain.
Our Companies in Sugar Processing
Kinyara Sugar: Scale, Quality & Energy
Kinyara Sugar Limited (KSL) is among Uganda’s largest producers, serving a significant share of the domestic market and supporting 6,900+ registered out-grower farmers. Inside the mill, disciplined maintenance and calibrated labs safeguard grain size, color, and purity—so retailers, bakeries, and beverage manufacturers receive consistent specifications.
Kinyara also leads in green energy: bagasse cogeneration powers operations and contributes surplus electricity to the national grid (installed ~14.5 MW, routinely exporting 6+ MW). In line with our sustainability agenda, Kinyara offers eco-friendly bio-fertilizers and bio-pesticides that help farmers boost soil health while reducing synthetic inputs.
Hoima Sugar: Integrated Growth & Community Impact
Developed as a modern greenfield operation in North-West Uganda, Hoima Sugar combines scalable crushing capacity with in-house cogeneration and a distillery unit. The nucleus estate, complemented by surrounding out-growers, ensures steady factory throughput. Hoima partners with local communities on medical services, road maintenance, and skills programs—demonstrating how responsible industrial growth uplifts regional economies.
Kiryandongo Sugar: Reliability Across the Value Chain
Kiryandongo Sugar reinforces national supply with estates, farmer partnerships, and safe, consistent packaging. The operation strengthens Sarrai Group’s logistics footprint—ensuring on-time deliveries to retailers, wholesalers, and institutional clients, even during seasonal peaks
