Story
How we began?
BAPL was incorporated in 2015, and purchased land in Nwoya District in 2016 to construct an ethanol distillery plant. It was completed in January 2019 and commissioned the 40,000 litre per day ethanol distillery in December 2019.
Who we are.
Bukona Agro Processors is a cassava based distillery manufacturing ethanol which is primarily used for domestic cooking in our specially designed ethanol cook stoves, Bukona Agro is aiming to substitute the use of devastating Charcoal and the imported LPG, the prevailing cooking options.
Bukona Agro is providing a large scale market for cassava in Northern Uganda, to the tune of 20,000 tons of dry cassava chips annually and supporting the government objective of promoting and commercialising cassava through their development arm Operation Wealth Creation (OWC). OWC in partnership with the Archdiocese of Gulu have supported Over 10,000 Farmers by providing them seedlings. Bukona Agro is proud to be associated with OWC and Acholibur Parish Project (APP), a venture formed by the Archdiocese of Gulu.
