A Ugandan agricultural export company built on farmer partnerships, quality discipline, and honest trade.
Citco Agro Solutions Ltd was founded in Kampala with a simple observation: some of the world's finest coffee, cocoa, vanilla, avocado and chilli grow along Uganda's fertile ridges — yet farmers rarely capture fair value, and international buyers struggle to find a partner they can trust for consistency.
We set out to fix both problems at once. By working directly with cooperatives and organized farmer groups, we can guarantee traceability from the tree to the container. By investing in quality control, we can guarantee that every shipment lands exactly as specified.
Today, we serve importers, roasters, chocolatiers, spice blenders and produce distributors across Europe, the Middle East and Asia — and we are just getting started.
Our head office sits at the heart of East Africa's most vibrant trade corridor. From Kampala we coordinate sourcing across the country, quality control in-house, and export logistics to Mombasa and Dar es Salaam.
To be the most reliable, ethical and quality-focused agricultural export partner between Uganda and the world — creating consistent value for buyers and consistent income for farmers.
A Uganda where every farmer growing world-class produce has direct, dignified access to global markets — and where "Ugandan origin" is a globally recognized mark of quality.
Honest specs. On-time shipments. Full documentation. Farmer-fair pricing. If it doesn't meet the contract, it doesn't leave the warehouse.
