Luwero Fruit Factory

Project Description

The Government of Uganda, through Uganda Development Cooperation (UDC), plans to establish a fruit processing factory in the greater Luwero sub-region. The proposed factory will feature three processing lines: a canning line for pineapples (5 MT/HR), a drying line for pineapples and mangoes (1.5 MT/HR), and a line for production of ready-to-drink ginger-flavored pineapple juice (Munanansi) (2 MT/HR). The total installed capacity is 8.5 MT/HR of fresh fruits, designed to run 16 hours/day (two shifts) for 25 days a month. Raw materials - pineapples and mangoes - will be sourced from the greater Luwero sub-region. Uganda is the second-largest producer of fresh fruits and vegetables, producing approximately 5.3 million tonnes annually. The project is aligned with the National Development Plan (NDP III) and UDC strategic plan. Unique selling points include strategic location, investor-friendly policies, and access to regional markets (EAC, COMESA, AfCFTA). Financing type: Equity and Debt. Located in Luwero District.
