Company Description
Masaka Farms (operating under Masaka Creamery Limited) is a prominent food manufacturing company based in Kigali, Rwanda, highly celebrated for its premium dairy products and exceptional social impact. Originally established in 2008 and strategically rebranded in 2015, the company operates from the Kigali Special Economic Zone in Masoro. It has firmly rooted itself as a household name in Rwanda’s competitive agro-processing sector, driven by a vision to become the most beloved food brand in every corner of the country.
The enterprise is widely recognized for its diverse and growing inventory of high-quality, value-added food products. Sourced using milk from over 2,000 local dairy farmers across Rwanda, its signature offerings include fresh cream, yogurt, fermented milk (ikivuguto), butter, ghee, and mascarpone. Demonstrating steady market growth and culinary innovation, Masaka Farms further diversified its portfolio by successfully launching a locally manufactured cream cheese line.
Beyond its agricultural outputs, Masaka Farms is globally admired for its groundbreaking model of disability inclusion. The company proactively recruits from the Rwandan Deaf community, resulting in a production team where a majority of the workforce is deaf. By creating an accessible ecosystem centered around sign language, advanced technical training, and fair employment, the company actively transforms marginalized individuals into highly skilled dairy processing experts.
In mid-2026, the company faced a major operational hurdle when a severe fire originating from a neighboring warehouse spread to its Masoro facility, causing significant structural damage. Fortunately, no lives were lost, and the team was safely evacuated. Leveraging an ongoing plan to transition into a much larger production site to support its long-term expansion, Masaka Farms has mobilized its resilient workforce to actively rebuild and restore commercial supply chains.
