We’re Kyenjojo District Coffee & Vanilla Farmer Cooperative — 480+ smallholder farmers growing cocoa, coffee, and vanilla with one shared mission: to farm with dignity, protect our land, and build a poverty-free community from the ground up
Our crops
Our main crops are vanilla, cocoa and coffee. However we also grow jackfruit, avocado, and other seasonal crops. Because resilience matters. Because the market shifts. Because our families need income year-round.

Cocoa
Cocoa farming is an art - and we’re investing in mastering it. With support from JESE and Forests of the World, we’re building a centralized fermentation station to unlock our specialty cocoa potential. This will help us secure better prices and deliver some of the best cocoa in Uganda.

Coffee
Grown in fertile highland soils, our coffee plants thrive under canopies of native trees. The result? Bright, bold, beautifully balanced beans.
We farm with a purpose. And with principles:
Farmers only
Every member is a farmer — no traders, no speculators.
No exploitation
Fair pay, no child labour, no discrimination, no hierarchy.
Transparency
Full transparency — in decisions, sales, and finances.
Our Model
Keynjojo is more than a cooperative. It’s a community.
We support each other on and off the farm - with trainings, mentorship, budgeting, marketing, and more.
General Assembly — where all major decisions are made
Executive Committee — elected by and accountable to the members
RPOs (Rural Producer Organizations) groups of 30 farmers who meet regularly

ToTs (Trainers of Trainers) experienced leaders who train the CBTs
We are organicically certified and farm using agroforestry models to increase biodiversity
Our Vision - We want to be the best smallholder producers in Uganda — not just in quality, but in how we treat people and the planet. A poverty-free community isn’t just our goal. It’s our north star. Together, we’re farming for change.
