The Agricultural Sector continues to be the most important sector in Uganda; it employs approximately 72% of the population and contributes about 32% to the GDP. However, as the figures above attest, productivity is limited due to the fact that this sector is dependent on seasonal rainfall patterns and the extensive use of traditional methods and equipment. One certain way for a swift development of the agriculture sector is by stimulating the industrial sector hereof the food-processing segment, which in turn triggers a higher output from the agriculture sector.

We at Teso Foods Ltd have therefore embarked on a capital intensive beverage production project of two categories using locally obtained produce to create the finest spirits (Black & Gold) and wines (MM) and thereby promoting the economic development of both the agricultural and the industrial sector of Uganda.
