Sugarcane millers demand representation on new sugar council

Members of the Millers Association of Sugarcane are demanding representation on the Sugar Council, which was created after President Museveni assented to the Sugar Act in May this year. When the Act came into effect, the Ministry of Trade, Industry, and Cooperatives issued a letter dated June 16, 2025, formally requesting the Millers Association of Sugarcane and the Uganda Sugar Manufacturers Association to nominate representatives to the newly established Uganda Sugar Industry Stakeholders Council.
