4,000 Jobs created as Kassanda Sugar Factory sets to open in Mubende – UGNEWS24
Mubende – The mega sugar factory is expected to offer direct employment to thousands of casual labourers and out-growers both within the Kassanda District and Uganda at large. The factory will need 1000 factory workers, 3000 workers in the agriculture department, and 1000 indirect employment. Kassanda Sugar Limited has developed numerous strategies for creating a strong relationship between growers and the processing factory by structuring Kassanda out growers’ scheme. Notably, 1000 growers are targeted to register with Kassanda Sugar Limited whereby registration and training of 300 out growers within Kassanda District and surrounding Lake Wamala region is ongoing to reduce the demand of sugarcane needed in the factory. More so, 100 million daily cash payment to farmers has been approved, and interest free loans to farmers in terms of material loans like seed cane, fertilizers, and tractor services will be given to farmers.
