Pela Commodities, whose complete name is Pela Commodities Limited (PCL), is a Ugandan company that buys, processes, packages and markets agricultural grain products nationally and to neighboring countries in the area of the African Great Lakes.
This is approximately 299 kilometres (186 mi), by road, north-east of Kampala, Uganda's capital and largest city.
[3] In 2021, a group of four entrepreneurs decided to establish an agro-processing plant in the city of Soroti, in Uganda's Eastern Region.
The factory was constructed on land availed by the Uganda Investment Authority, in Arapai Industrial Park, on the outskirts of Soroti.
Soroti was selected because grains are extensively grown in the Teso sub-region and the city is within easy accessibility of the two major markets of Kenya and South Sudan.
