Kampala, Uganda – Unilever Uganda has launched Royco Cube Ku String at the bustling Nakasero Market in Kampala.
The Kampala event is the latest in a series of vibrant market activations following successful launches in Gulu, Mbarara, and Mbale. This rollout reinforces Unilever’s unwavering commitment to putting customers at the heart of everything it does.

We are incredibly proud of the Uniliver team and grateful to our consumers whose trust and loyalty continue to inspire us.”
Speaking at the Kampala launch, Grace Nandawula, Head of Customer & Strategy Planning at Unilever Uganda, said:
“Nakasero Market isn’t just a location—it’s the heartbeat of Kampala. We are here because our customers are here. The Royco Cube Ku String was created by listening to what real Ugandan cooks need: hygiene, convenience, affordability, and great taste still fortified with iron & iodine. Our consumers inspire us, and today is about celebrating them.”
The activation event featured live cooking experiences, interactive engagements, and sampling sessions that brought traders, consumers, and community members together to taste and experience the innovation firsthand.
The Kampala launch reflects Unilever’s broader vision to connect with consumers where they live and work—bringing Royco closer to the people who rely on it every day. With fortified nutrition and a trusted heritage, Royco continues to be a staple in Ugandan kitchens.
