Who Are We
Value-added agriculture entails changing a raw agricultural product into something new through
packaging, processing, cooling, drying, extracting or any other type of process that
differentiates the product from the original raw commodity. In our case, our contribution is
processing raw fruits into ready fruit Concentrates, Purees and Juices consumed not only
regionally but world-wide.
Since the agricultural sector of Uganda employs approximately 72% of the general population
and constitutes a third of our nation’s GDP we strongly believe in providing a ready market for
our fruit farmers and contributing to the sector’s employment stability and monetary growth.
BUILDING COMMUNITY & CREATING IMPACT
We at KIKE Tropical Fruits are passionate about creating a lasting impact within our society.
Hence, we have made it our top priority to create a business operating model that ensures that
our activities trickle down to those who are less fortunate but to us, matter the most.
For us, the small-holder farmers are the heart of our operations and here is where we feel we
can make the most difference. Small-holder farmers largely consist of women and young adults
and our pledge is to always create an available market for their fruits, Largely because most of
their fruits were generally thrown away or left to rot as there was no market availability or a
large enough consumption to offtake all of their fruits. And through collaboration with them,
we have managed to build community and improve the lives of our farmers. Not only by
creating a market but by also offering farm advisory services e.g training on good agronomic & organicpractices
