We are proud to announce a partnership with Nile Breweries to boost commercial cassava production for our farmers. We signed a 5-year MoU with Nile Breweries Ltd to extend agricultural research technology to local farmers supplying raw materials used in beer production.

“In the past years, cassava has been produced in Uganda specifically for food as well as distillation of ethanol. So in this partnership, we expect to boost cassava production from 6 metric tonnes per hectare to 50 or 25 metric tonnes per hectare.' - Yona Baguma, PhD

“Production of beer using local materials will lead to the creation of employment, low cost of production as well as increased production whereby in case we produce excess beers, we shall export the rest to our neighboring countries,” Yona Baguma, PhD added.

Theunis Coetzee, Agric Services Manager at NBL, revealed they decided to start beer production from cassava as it has numerous health advantages compared to other raw materials.
“Cassava contains much energy, natural sugars which can be used instead of adding sugar in the beer.'

Theunis assured farmers that as soon as their team working with NARO confirmed the best cassava brand suitable for beer production, they would engage farmers’ cooperatives, Farmers’ Unions and other groups to grow cassava on a large scale for continued production.
