Amuru Sugar Works Limited (ASWL) is a proposed sugar manufacturing company in the Northern Region of Uganda.[1]
Location
The factory and sugar plantation would be located south of the Zoka Forest in Amuru District, Acholi sub-region.[1] This location would be approximately 130 km, by road, north-west of Gulu, the largest city in the Northern Region of Uganda.[2]
Overview
Sometime before 2010, the Madhvani Group applied to lease 40000 acre in Amuru District to establish a commercial sugar plantation and a factory. Uganda's central and district governments consented to the deal, but the resident communities, through their traditional leaders, objected.[3]
