Ham Enterprises: Hamis Kiggundu Discusses Current Projects in Construction and Agroprocessing in Uganda

Hamis Kiggundu, CEO and Director of Ham Enterprises U Ltd, discusses current projects in construction and agroprocessing.

"Currently, I am constructing a stadium which will seat approximately 35,000 people. We are doing the 500 homes and the agroprocessing plant. The agroprocessing plant is not the future of Ham Enterprises as my company, but the future of Uganda as a country. I took the responsibility upon myself and invested close to 2 billion Ugandan shillings to put together a research report about Uganda’s economy. I divided Uganda into 10 agro zones in accordance with the kind of crops or agrobusiness that comes from that area. Some areas are specific to livestock or grain or simsim. I have a written projection that will require about 120 million dollars for each integrated agro project including the land, the machinery, the processing plant, the storage and silos. The 10 zones will require approximately 9.2 million dollars. If this project is put into action, after a period of 10 to 15 years, Uganda will be one of the most developed countries with one of the biggest economies in the world", says Hamis Kiggundu.
