For more than 30 years, we have worked continuously to achieve one goal: a better deal for farmers. In 2021, we reached 13,900 producers.

We focus on establishing structured trading systems, developing farmers business management and ensuring sustainable, quality and safe food production and consumption. Currently, we are running our Sustainable rice programme and our Good Food for Cities programme in the cities of Mbale and Kampala.
