Reference excerpt

The Uganda Sugar Manufacturers' Association (USMA), is a registered, professional organization that brings together four large sugar manufacturers in Uganda. The association aims at promoting sustainable, profitable manufacture of sugar and related products, in a sustainable, environmentally friendly fashion, for the economic development of the industry, employees and country. USMA represents Uganda in matters related to the International Sugar Organization.

Location The association maintains its headquarters at 133-135 Sixth Street, in the Industrial Area of Kampala, Uganda's capital and largest city. The geographical coordinates of the headquarters of USMA are:0°19'01.0"N, 32°36'16.0"E (Latitude:0.316944; Longitude:32.604444).

Overview The members of USMA are: (a) Kakira Sugar Works (b) Kinyara Sugar Works Limited (c) Sugar Corporation of Uganda Limited and (d) Sango Bay Estates Limited. According to USMA, sugar production in Uganda in the calendar year 2014, is as illustrated in the table below.

In 2011, eight new sugar manufactures were issued licenses, bringing the total to 15 in the country then. This led to friction between the new entrants and the established large producers who belong to USMA.

Governance USMA is governed by a five person board of directors.

Mwine Jim Kabeho (Kakira Sugar Works): Chairman P. Ramadasan (Kinyara Sugar Works Limited): Vice Chairman D. N. Mishra (Sugar Corporation of Uganda Limited): Member Christian Vincke (Kakira Sugar Works): Member Assistant Commissioner of Trade, MTIC (Government Representative): Member

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Uganda Sugar Manufacturers' Association

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Uganda Sugar Manufacturers' Association claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Uganda Sugar Manufacturers' Association before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Uganda Sugar Manufacturers' Association ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Uganda Sugar Manufacturers' Association

In research: Uganda Sugar Manufacturers' Association appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Uganda Sugar Manufacturers' Association in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Uganda Sugar Manufacturers' Association is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1995 establishments in Uganda, Manufacturing trade associations, Organisations based in Kampala, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Uganda Sugar Manufacturers' Association outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
