About Us

A Leading Voice in Low-emission Alternatives

Farmerco Industries Ltd is a private company duly incorporated under the laws of Uganda. It is one of the leading agro-industrial companies in Uganda.

Farmerco owns and operates a manufacturing facility that produces rectified spirit. The factory sits on a 19-acre campus in Western Uganda and was financed by both equity and debt from the Uganda Development Bank. The plant has a production capacity of 10,000 litres of rectified spirit per day and uses multiple raw materials, although locally grown cassava is the main feedstock. Farmerco started with the agronomy of 400+ acres of a cassava nucleus farm in Western Uganda for raw materials complemented by 4,000 out growers.

Backstory

Cooking is an integral part of our human existence. Unfortunately, for a country like Uganda, we are heavily reliant on biomass with charcoal being the primary cooking fuel. Most of the charcoal consumers are based in Kampala, Mbale, Gulu and Mbarara sourced mainly from charcoal burners and middlemen/retailers.  Charcoal production and use has severe environmental and health consequences.

The

Objective

Our core objective is to produce 3.65 million litres of denatured ethanol annually, targeting 10% of the urban clean in our first phase. The target market shall be Kampala City and the wider Kampala Metropolitan Area. This area has a population of 4 million people living in 800,000 homesteads and we are targeting 80,000 households over the next 36 months.

We shall also assemble, pack and distribute 80,000 clean cooking stoves within 36 months from the launch date. This initiative is estimated to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by approximately 20,000 tons annually. This will in turn improve indoor air quality, reducing respiratory diseases and deaths among the population, create jobs and income opportunities for smallholder farmers and local communities, and reduce health exposures to carbon based fuels, as well as reduce pressure on the natural environment resources.
