Our origins
Uganda is our primary origin, with complementary supply from Kenya and Tanzania.
Close to the equator, with fertile soils and two rainy seasons, the region supports year-round production of fruit, coffee, cocoa and spices — and counter-seasonal supply for UK and European markets.
‘Close to the equator, close to the harvest’
Sourcing partners
We work with established partners in Uganda who support sourcing, aggregation and export preparation.
Together with growers, cooperatives and pack-houses, they help us check quality at source and prepare produce to each buyer’s specification.
