About Turaco Valley Foods Ltd.
A Social Enterprise with a mission to manufacture quality value-added food products from crops grown in refugee-hosting areas of Uganda. Through this, we can sustainably deliver on our three main goals:
1. Strengthen agricultural supply-chains in refugee hosting areas through farmer training and input-provision programmes
2. Provide a more reliable and fair market directly to refugee farmers
3. Promote more biodiverse farming systems within a humanitarian context
We have been running commercial operations since January 2022 centred in Rwamwanja Refugee Settlement, Western Uganda. We produce and sell UNBS certified maize flour to local wholesalers. We will develop new products increasing the number of crop types we can buy at fair prices from smallholders year round. We conduct various farmer outreach programs within Rwamwanja with over 800 farmers. These activities are mostly held on a mixed 20-acre demonstration farm which we manage in Rwamwanja to showcase regenerative farming practices.
