Uganda Waragi, a product of Uganda Breweries, has been awarded a Gold Quality Award at this year’s Monde Selection Quality Awards.
The Monde Selection Awards are annual, non-competitive accolades for food, drinks, and cosmetics, organized by the International Quality Institute to recognize quality products. These awards have long championed a holistic approach to quality recognition and product performance through in-depth evaluations by industry experts.
This global recognition further affirms Uganda Waragi’s legacy of producing superior-quality gin and its commitment to adhering to international standards—bringing the total number of quality awards won by the brand to 26.
“As a locally manufactured product, this quality award validates local manufacturing excellence, which directly ties into Uganda’s Vision 2040: to produce goods and services that can be favorably traded on the global market,” noted Andrew Kilonzo, Managing Director of Uganda Breweries.
“Ensuring that our brands align with global standards is our mandate as a consumer goods company, and this win is a testament to that commitment. It also highlights the top-notch craftsmanship and production processes behind our heritage gin,” added Jocelline Kanayuwa, Quality Assurance Manager at Uganda Breweries.
Uganda Breweries has also been recognized for 25 years of consistent production of high-quality beer, further assuring consumers of the company’s dedication to quality products.
Beyond recognition, this achievement supports ongoing efforts to curb counterfeit alcohol in the Ugandan market. As a company committed to ethical business practices, UBL has implemented preventive measures—such as tamper-proof packaging for Uganda Waragi and other locally manufactured products—to ensure consumer safety.
This commitment is further reflected in product innovation, including the introduction of new Uganda Waragi variants like Lemon and Ginger, aimed at appealing to a broader consumer base.
