Agro-manufacturing

UDC invests in agro-manufacturing to promote value addition, strengthen local industries and unlock the economic potential of Uganda’s agricultural resources. Through strategic investments and partnerships, the Corporation supports the establishment, revitalisation and expansion of agro-processing and manufacturing enterprises that transform locally sourced raw materials into higher-value products.

The Corporation’s interventions span food and beverage processing, sugar production, tea processing, grain milling, cotton and textile manufacturing, and other agro-based industries. These investments contribute to reliable markets for farmers, increased industrial production, employment creation, import substitution and export growth.
