We partner with smallholder farmers across Uganda to deliver specialty coffee, honey and traditional beverages to global buyers.
Mapping and profiling our farmers are essential practices that significantly enhance the traceability of our coffees. Here’s how they contribute to verifying the origins and quality of our products
By mapping the locations of our farmers, we create a visual representation of where each batch of coffee is grown. This geographic information helps us track the specific regions, microclimates, and soils influencing the coffee's flavor profile, thereby allowing us to assert the authenticity of its origin.
Profiling each farmer involves documenting their farming practices, techniques, and history. This information includes insights into their harvest methods, processing techniques, and even their journey in coffee farming. Such detailed records educate consumers on the source of their coffee and help in verifying the sustainability and ethical practices behind it.
Mapping and profiling enable us to monitor the quality of coffee produced by each farmer consistently. By knowing who grows our coffee and how it is processed, we can establish quality benchmarks, ensuring that every cup maintains our high standards.
With detailed profiles and mapped locations, we create a transparent supply chain. Consumers can trace their coffee's journey from the farm to their cup, fostering trust and reinforcing our commitment to ethical sourcing.
Mapping and profiling empower farmers by providing them with resources and knowledge to improve their practices. By understanding their specific needs and challenges, we can offer tailored support, ultimately benefiting both the farmers and the quality of the coffee.
