Cocoa Processing Factory — Bundibugyo

UDC is establishing a cocoa processing factory in Bundibugyo district, recognising cocoa as one of ten strategic commodities selected by Government for agro-industrialisation.

The factory will process primary and secondary cocoa products in its first 10 years, including well-packaged dry cocoa beans, cocoa butter, cocoa powder, and chocolate products.

Bundibugyo is Uganda's primary cocoa-growing region with established farmer networks and supply chains. The project aligns with NDP III priorities for value addition and import substitution.
