FARMERCO

Green Energy for Clean Cook Stoves using Denatured Ethanol.

About Us

Fuel clean kitchens, stronger farms and a low-carbon Uganda.


Farmerco Industries Ltd is a Uganda-based ethanol distillery and clean cooking company, supplying modern ethanol stoves and cooking fuel to households across Kampala and the Greater Kampala Metropolitan Area, while creating reliable markets for rural farmers.


We turn cassava, maize, and other local crops into high-quality ethanol that powers safe, smokeless kitchens. Through affordable stove starter packs, recurring fuel supply, and digital tracking, Farmerco links farmers, families, and climate finance into one vertically integrated value chain.

Cleaner Cooking

No smoke, no soot, no harmful indoor air pollution.

Eco-Friendly

Reduces deforestation and carbon emissions.

Healthier Homes

Protects families from respiratory illness caused by charcoal and firewood smoke.

The Problem and

The Opportunity

Charcoal is expensive. Smoke is deadly. Forests are disappearing.

In Kampala and the Greater Kampala Metropolitan Area, most homes still cook on charcoal. Families pay more every month for fuel, breathe toxic smoke every day, and forests are cut down to meet demand. Uganda loses tens of thousands of hectares of forest cover each year, and women and children pay the highest price in poor health and lost time.

Ethanol cooking changes the story.

Ethanol is a clean-burning, renewable fuel. When used in a modern stove, it produces a steady blue flame with no smoke and no soot. With the right stove, fair fuel prices, and reliable distribution, families can save money, cook faster, and protect their health—while Uganda protects its forests and meets its climate goals.
