Notes
A combination of sawdust and wheat bran moulded together into a banana-shaped briquette is now an alternative to wood and charcoal fuel. The Jerriton Bakery and Coffee Factory in Kampala, which developed the briquette, cut down its fuel costs for baking and roasting coffee beans. It had been using 9 tons of charcoal a month. In June 2002, only 1 ton of briquettes was needed.
