Ugandan Homemade Drink Threatened by Bill, Market Changes
Lawmakers in Uganda are considering barring people from making a popular alcoholic drink at home.
The bill being considered would affect people like the Ndyanabo family.
At least once a week, Girino Ndyanabo’s family gathers around a hole in the ground where bananas have been left to ripen. The family then peels the bananas and puts them into a wooden container shaped like a boat. The father steps in with his bare feet. The sweet banana juice he presses out is then filtered. To this he adds sorghum. The juice is then left to ferment for up to a day. This process changes the juice into an alcoholic drink.
The result is the home-brewed drink Ugandans call tonto, or tontomera. This word describes a drinker’s poor movements.
Tonto is famous in Uganda. Everyone drinks it—from officials to labourers. Singers sing about it. Politicians seeking office drink it with voters. And traditional ceremonies end at sunset with tonto parties.
However, there are threats to the way tonto is currently produced. More people are now drinking low-cost bottled beer. Health officials want rules to limit the risks from contaminated home brews. And officials want to get tax income from the production and sale of the drink.
But farmers have a more urgent concern: Not enough new banana juice cultivars are being planted to produce the drink.
Instead, more farmers are planting a different sort of banana. This kind is boiled and eaten as a popular dish called matooke.
Girino Ndyanabo farms in the western district of Mbarara. His first experience with tonto was as a little boy in the 1970s. He said he has only a few plants left of the cultivars he uses to make tonto.
He gets his bananas from farmers near him until he can fill the small pit on his farm. The natural underground heat ripens the bananas within days as he prepares for the weekly pressing. The event is important in the family’s daily life because they sell tonto.
Ndyanabo said his weekly brew has regular buyers. But in recent years, he has seen both demand and supply slow. This is partly because the sale price of tonto has been largely unchanged for many years.
However, the process of brewing it has become more difficult. Tonto brewers must travel farther for their bananas. Also, the price of sorghum has gone up.
To help this situation, he has been trying to plant more of the banana juice cultivars. They grow faster. And his son, Mathias Kamukama, helps.
The family makes five or six 20-litre jerricans for each brewing. A jerrican’s worth sells for about $8. A half-litre of tonto sells for about 27 cents, compared to 67 cents for the cheapest bottled beer.
This is partly because the sale price of tonto has
been largely unchanged for many years.
这在一定程度上是因为多年来,tonto的销售价格基本没有变化。
