We chose it because our work has a positive impact not only on local farmers but also on the local community and the Ugandan economy.

Social responsibility
Helping farmers grow 4–5 tons an acre
Our goal is to build agricultural infrastructure that empowers local farmers and transfers technology, skills and best practice, so that farmers in Uganda can reach maximum yields of 4–5 tons per acre.
We help farmers cut post-harvest losses through better handling, and promote a sustainable model through ideas like “farming as a business” and “one village, one commodity”. Rural farmers produce enough for their homes and plenty extra for sale, bulked into good-quality lots that attract premium buyers.
Work with us
Whether you’re a buyer, a farmer or a partner, we’d like to hear from you.
