The recent commissioning of East Africa’s biggest fertiliser plant at Sukulu in Tororo, near the Uganda-Kenya border, has been hailed as a major step towards breaking East and Southern Africa’s overreliance on imported and synthetic fertiliser.
The plant is part of a Ush2.4 trillion ($630 million) industrial park in Tororo, once a bustling industrial town, which Kampala hopes will be revived with new investments.
