Transforming Uganda's Agricultural Abundance into Global Excellence

In the work we do, the farmer is the single most important part of the puzzle because they start the entire process. Uganda is gifted with such fertile soil, but it is only the farmer who can enable this fertile soil to truly yield agricultural abundance.

At Newman Foods Limited, we are dedicated to transforming this agricultural abundance into Global Excellence by creating the best quality snacks. But our relationship with farmers goes far beyond just getting produce from them.

Our relationship with outgrowers (farmers) is founded on four non-negotiable principles:

  • Commitment means we provide a consistent and reliable off-take market for your produce.
  • Integrity guarantees transparency, honesty, and ethical conduct in all interactions, especially concerning contracts and pricing.
  • Empowerment ensures we deliver training to foster an entrepreneurial mindset, helping you and your family thrive.
  • Quality means we expect adherence to credited production standards to ensure the high-value products necessary for global markets.

We don’t just teach farming; we teach business. This is perhaps the most crucial element of our support. Our training actively promotes a necessary shift from subsistence farming to a commercial, entrepreneurial mindset.

We encourage every outgrower to view their farm as a business, adopt best practices, and strive for the strict quality standards required for global markets.

Crucially, this training incorporates gender mainstreaming, ensuring that women are fully equipped to manage and invest for profitable growth and are empowered as entrepreneurs. This mental preparation is key to navigating the financial leap, managing personal and business finances, and becoming a more reliable, self-reliant supplier.
