OUR STORY
It all started in...
At home in 2002 buying and selling locally made wine. In 2006, K. Roma Limited started making its own wine, Bella Sweet Red wine from passion fruits supplied by farmers belonging to Namuwongo where it started making Bella Golden wine, a white wine made from pineapple juice contrite. Wine production has since greatly increased from 1,0001 in 2006 to 60,0001 in 2009. K. Roma Limited has since found its new home in Najera, approximately 14km from Kampala City Centre.
K-Roma ltd was certified by the Uganda National Bureau of Statistics (UNBS) and registered as the first company producing organic fruit products. The fruits are supplied by the Organic farmers supported by the National Organic Agricultural Movement of Uganda (NOGAMU).
The company was registered with a capital investment of one million shillings and is to-date estimated at a worth of five hundred million shillings. It started with only three employees but to-date employs over twenty workers. At start, there was only one supplier and wine was sold in jerricans and plastic bottles; now there are over four suppliers and wine is sold in glass bottles. The customers used to consist of mainly the relatives, family friends and colleagues at work; today the distribution chain has grown to most supermarkets in Kampala, Mukono, Entebbe, Mbale, Mbarara, Masaka and upcountry.
