In our quest to promote Sustainable Development, we established a nucleus farm in Masindi as a centre for agriculture demonstration and conservation of herbal medicine. The farm sits on 960 acres with crops like Citrus, Cactus, Aloe vera; and medicinal plants like Prunus africana, Kigeria africana, Warburgia ugandensis, Mondia whitei, and Ginseng.

Sixteen years down the road, the company has succeeded in defining agriculture value chain management systems since 90% of our raw materials come from agriculture. Another level of success has been registered in herbal medicine development with two drugs approved by the NDA and one that has passed Clinical Trials—the highest stage of drug development.

Looking ahead, Kazire Health Products aims to serve 400 million people across East, Central and Southern Africa by 2030 in areas of nutritional supplements, health-based beverages, pharmaceutical products, logistics and technological services. By this time, Kazire will be a household name throughout Sub-Saharan Africa, continuing our legacy of natural health excellence.
