Uganda Cocoa Association (UCA), established in 2001, brings together farmers and traders with a mandate to improve the quality of cocoa being produced in Uganda and increase the production and export volumes of Cocoa from Uganda.
The Association of Vanilla Exporters of Uganda (VANEX) brings together the majority of vanilla exporting companies in Uganda under one umbrella in order to promote the production of vanilla in Uganda for the long term benefit of the Ugandan vanilla industry.
