On Saturday, 18th July 2026, Hon. Aminah Mukalazi visited Terra Industrial Development Company in Ntungamo District to appreciate the progress of Uganda’s first pig iron processing plant, a landmark investment in the country’s industrial transformation journey.
Hon. Mukalazi was received by Terra Industrial Development Company Managing Director, Mr. Kong Dong Sheng, and the company’s management team, who guided her through the facility and shared updates on the progress of the project.
The investment marks an important step in Uganda’s drive to promote mineral beneficiation and local value addition by processing locally available resources into industrial products. The plant is expected to contribute to the growth of Uganda’s manufacturing sector, create employment opportunities, and strengthen local participation across the industrial value chain.
During the visit, Hon. Mukalazi commended Terra Industrial Development Company for its contribution to building a value-added economy and highlighted the importance of investments that support local content, technology transfer, and sustainable industrial development.
The development of Uganda’s first pig iron processing plant reflects Government’s commitment to attracting strategic investments, promoting domestic manufacturing, and ensuring that the country derives greater economic benefits from its natural resources through value addition.
As Uganda continues to pursue industrial growth, investments such as Terra Industrial Development Company demonstrate the critical role of the private sector in supporting economic transformation, job creation, and the advancement of a competitive manufacturing sector.
