Kakira Sugar Limited, established in 1930, is Uganda's leading sugar producer, accounting for approximately half of the nation's sugar production. The company operates on a vast estate along the shores of Lake Victoria, where it cultivates sugarcane and processes it into various products.


Kakira Vodka is a notable product from Kakira Distillery. It is made from pure sugarcane spirit grown and distilled at the Kakira Sugar Estate. The vodka undergoes multiple chilled charcoal filtrations, resulting in an extraordinarily smooth taste and flawless finish.


Kakira Distillery is committed to sustainability, transforming waste molasses from their estate-grown sugarcane into high-quality spirits. The company also supports local communities, the environment, and wildlife through various charitable initiatives.
