About The Employer
EKiBBO Farming Services is a social business, incorporated in June 2023, with the aim of supporting farmers to develop multi-crop, agroforestry businesses. Working in Mukono and Buikwe Districts. We have 1500 registered smallholder farmers, with a plan of growing to a minimum of 3000 farmers by end of 2027. Our business model is to link farmers to a range of services – guaranteed markets, logistics support, training on improving production and agroforestry models (with a focus on organic farming methods), farm inputs, loans, carbon credit schemes, and we take a small fee for the linkages made. While coffee is the primary value chain, our model is to support farmers to grow a wider variety of crops and tree products, such as jackfruit, vanilla, cocoa and bamboo, that help the coffee trees to be more productive, while also providing additional income to the farmer and wider environmental benefits. One of our areas of value add is using a digital platform on which we upload all the data provided by the farmer, allowing for full traceability and impact monitoring. We are also looking to support farmers in getting a range of certifications (organic, RFA) to evidence their growing practices and allow them access to higher
