The sugar estate was founded in 1930. By the early 1970s, a respectable sugar industry had been established. In the 1972 dictator Idi Amin expelled the owners, who are of Asian descent. The factory and estate were mismanaged into near extinction. The remaining infrastructure was looted during the Tanzania-Uganda War that removed Idi Amin from power in 1979. In the 1990s the owners reclaimed the estate and non-functioning factory. A rehabilitation plan worth US$10 million was developed to renovate both the plantation and the factory. Production started in 2011 and annual output is projected at 15,000 metric tonnes. When fully operational Sango Bay can produce 60,000 metric tonnes of sugar annually. Ownership
