Company Overview

Market Challenges and Our Solutions

UGP Traders (U) Limited aims to tackle food security and high unemployment rates in Uganda while catering to the growing global demand for natural ingredients.

Moreover, we provide the nomadic communities in Karamoja an alternative source of livelihood, contributing to security in the region.

Vanilla Value Chain 

Sesame Value Chain

Through farming of Organic Sesame Seeds, we supply to the world's need for healthy, nutritious, and natural food options.

Our activities provide employment and sustainable economic development within Uganda; a country with the youngest population in the world yet 40% of Ugandan youths are out of school and not employed. 

We work with more than 80 temporary workers, mostly youth and also purchase Sesame Seeds from more than 2000 smallholder farmers to reach desired export targets.

Soybean Value Chain

We produce Soybeans, Soybean Cake and Soybean Oil.

These products address malnutrition by offering an affordable, nutrient-rich food option.  Nearly 3 in 10 children in Uganda suffer from undernutrition.

Soybean oil is low in saturated fats and is a natural source of beneficial omega-3 fats, making it a heart-healthy choice for consumers. Additionally, local production of soybean oil supports Uganda's drive for food self-sufficiency, reducing reliance on imported oils. 

Our Soybean Cake is an effective, local and cost-effective animal feed, hence reducing reliance on imported animal feeds.  Animal Feeds approximate about 70% of local farm production costs.
