Our Partners
AgDevCo
Esco Uganda supports the entire cocoa value chain of production within Uganda right from planting and harvesting to processing and market engagement. It is important that the farmers who lie at the starting point of this value chain get the relevant training and support to boost production and incomes.
With support from AgDevCo the farmers were able to initiate 197 community nurseries in 2018/19, producing a total of 4.6 million cocoa seedlings for planting in Kagadi and Kakumiro. In 2019/20, farmers were able to plant 2,879 Ha of cocoa in Kagadi and 815 Ha in Kakumiro. In this area we have trained over 2,000 farmers who are now actively involved in cocoa growing.
We have also trained over 14,000 farmers in Bundibugyo and conduct regular farm visits to all certified farmers.
AgDevCo is committed to supporting a thriving commercial African agriculture sector that benefits both people and planet- something we fully support also!
