How big is your sugarcane plantation?
I farm on 450 acres of land but since the collapse of the sector, I’ve reduced that to 180 acres. I have been selling to Kakira Sugar.
So what was your loss?
I would say I have lost about Shs 400 million per year for the last three years due to my inability to sell sugarcane.
Is Butembe constituency as affected as other parts of Busoga with sugarcane growing?
Butembe is where Kakiri sugar is located, which is the largest Sugar miller in East Africa. It’s the heartbeat of the sugarcane question in the eastern region.
