Our Story

Our journey began with a simple but profound discovery and realization that many small holder farmers in Uganda possess the potential to grow exceptionally quality fresh fruits and vegetables for the international market but lack the knowledge and market access to thrive.
Smaller holder farmers with their fertile lands and favorable climate in Uganda and their dedicated hands, grow treasures that are on demand worldwide but unfortunately these end up to waste due to postharvest losses and the little sold on local market earn them less premium prices.
Despite the hard work, local farmers continue to struggle to share their treasures from the tropical land of Uganda with the world, therefore their hard work and dedication, fertile soils and favorable climate end up not paying off, keeping them poor and poor all year round.

Determined to make a notable difference in our community, Five friends that founded Tropical Treasures Company limited came together to share a passion project that can empower the less fortunate farmers and bring their exceptional produce to the global market therefore translating their hard work into premium profits, global recognition, and improved and sustainable livelihoods which definitely can create a brighter future for generations to come.

The team pledged to leverage their diverse expertise; exposure and connections each has obtained throughout their different carrier paths, to always support local farmers through advisory services, trainings and creating available market for their produce, largely because their products do not have access to international markets. This in return was anticipated  to lead into improved lives of farmers and their families.

Our commitment extends beyond business and our move through export aims to:

1. Unleash the potential of small holder farmers
2. Bridge the gap between small holder farmers field produce and the international markets
3. Address the knowledge gap through farm advisory services to boost yields and quality of farmers’ produce that meets international standards and trainings on post harvesting handling for fresh fruits and vegetables
4. Obtain a premium market for farmers’ produce because they deserve it hence ensuring fair prices for their produce and sustainable livelihoods
5. Showcase Uganda’s abundant and untapped natural, nutritious and rich tasty fruits and vegetables to the world
6. Contribute to local economy and sustainable development.
