TRAINING FARMER GROUPS
We train farmers at the lower value chain on:
- > Improved methods of growing coffee
- > Harvesting and Post-harvest handling
- > Value addition
- > Basic book keeping
KIMCO MICRO INPUT CREDIT
Kimco provides KIMCO micro interest free input credit to women groups and individuals involved in the coffee value chain.The input credit is provided for procurement of inputs like fertilizers, tarpaulins and farm tools. The credit is paid back at the end of each coffee season.
COFFEE SOURCING AND PROCESSING
The red cherries are sourced from our estate and small holder farmers from Lwengo District, Central Uganda. For quality assurance, the coffee is selectively handpicked, carefully cleaned, floated, dried on raised beds and roasted before packaging. We contribute to the elimination of child labor by financially supporting vulnerable children to stay in school.
