Africa Outlook: What part do company suppliers play in the success of Nile Breweries?

David Valencia, Country Director: “Our beers are manufactured with local malted barley and sorghum; we invest and generate value for over 20,000 farmers in Uganda.

“We focus on support initiatives to strengthen and develop local suppliers. For example, recently we have closed purchase agreements for locally manufactured crowns. Our

Agri programme generates close to $30 million annually in farmer revenue, value chain and upskilling benefits. On top of this, we contribute close to $15 million towards local businesses.

“Our suppliers and partners are extremely important towards the success of our business. I would like for Nile Breweries to be without question the best business partner for all our stakeholders.”
