Project Uganda Pineapple and Mango farming
- Uganda, Kayunga District
In this project we track production methods to improve sustainability and we develop market channels. We also structure post harvesting implementing processing to make agricultural products more resilient: dehydrating fruit is an effective way to help it last for longer and prevent waste. Procured in a very transparent way, our dry fruits are a nutritious snack that we are committed to offering to international markets.
In this project we are tackling Environmental, Social and Economic challenges to reach sustainability.
Main issues:
- Increasing negative effects of climate change making it difficult for small farmers to plan and manage their production: Prolonged droughts affecting production and limited access to irrigation.
- Suboptimal access to capital, technology, and farm inputs.
- Insufficient capacity in post-harvest handling and quality management for products mean for international markets and lack of sustainable market and fair channels.
- Limited access to farming credit.
