Sugar & Allied Industries Limited also known as Kaliro Sugar, a subsidiary of Alam Group, was established in 2011 with the aim of meeting the regional deficit and giving Uganda 100% sugar self sufficiency. Research was carried out and Kaliro district, strategically placed between Lake Kyoga and Lake Victoria, was found to have the best climate for growing premium sugar cane that would make delicious sugar.

By 2013 a state of the art plant was commissioned with the capacity to crush 2000 tonnes of sugar cane per day producing 200 tonnes of Kaliro Sugar.

The plant also generates 12 Megawatts of electricity, the factory uses some of this power and the balance is sold back to the national grid to serve the region. We have invested $60 Million in the factory, power cogeneration, agricultural equipment and out growers.

All of this requires a sophisticated workforce to ensure that we produce sugar up to international standards.
