Pedan Investments Company Limited works closely with farmer cooperatives to create a strong network that aggregates coffee production from smallholder farmers across Uganda. By establishing these partnerships, the company ensures that farmers have access to better resources, training, and support, allowing them to increase yields and improve the quality of their coffee.
Through these collaborations, Pedan Investments is able to facilitate fair pricing by providing a stable and reliable market for the farmers' produce, thereby eliminating the need for intermediaries and ensuring that farmers receive a higher share of the value chain. This commitment to fair pricing not only empowers farmers but also contributes to the overall growth and sustainability of the coffee industry in Uganda.
Industry and Governmental Relationships:
Pedan Investments Company Limited actively collaborates with government bodies, like the ministry of agriculture and Uganda Coffee Development Authority (UCDA) and other key industry stakeholders to advocate for policies that support sustainable coffee farming and enhance the overall coffee industry in Uganda.
This partnership allows the company to engage in discussions on regulatory reforms, promote market access, and contribute to the development of strategies that improve both the productivity of local farmers and the competitiveness of Uganda's coffee on the global stage. Through these collaborations, Pedan Investments plays a pivotal role in shaping policies that ensure long-term growth for the coffee sector while addressing the needs of farmers, exporters, and other players within the coffee value chain.
