RENEW Strategies

The business processes cereal grains such as maize, soya beans, millet, groundnuts, simsim, rice, into a wide range of food products, including cereal, beverages, and ingredients for other high-nutrition foods.

Grains processed by the business are currently sold at comparatively low prices throughout Uganda, helping increase the nutrition and health of the population. Locally processed natural foods help alleviate nutritional shortages, cost less for the poor to purchase, and add value to raw crops, benefiting the local economy and improving Uganda’s trade balance.

This business seeks investment to finance a facility for processing bananans and other fruits into high quality, natural products for sale into local and international markets. The business will benefit 5,000 local farmers by purchasing from them and offering training and seeds from higher quality plants.

The business produces high-quality seeds and seedlings which it sells to local farmers, who benefit through higher yields. This raises income and increases the amount of locally-grown food available in the market. The business also operates a research lab which employs skilled labor to continuously improve the quality of the product, benefiting the business and passing these benefits to the rural farmers who purchase seedlings. Additional capital is required to expand production and operations and hire additional Ugandan employees.
