Sugar industry of Rwanda

Rwanda produces the least quantity of granular brown sugar among four of the six countries of the East African Community, namely Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania and Uganda, accounting for about 12,000 metric tonnes annually as of August 2016.

[5] The Madhvani Group plans to increase production at Kabuye to 55,000 metric tonnes annually.

It includes the construction of a co-generation thermal power station with capacity of 12 megawatts (16,092 hp) and an ethanol production facility with capacity of 6 million litres (1,300,000 imp gal; 1,600,000 US gal) annually.

The government of Rwanda and the Madhvani Group have held discussions to bring this plan to fruition.
