We have over 700 small-to-medium size macadamia
We are establishing macadamia nuts Collection Centres which cater for out growers with maturing macadamia nuts. We do that under the umbrella of MACADAMIA FAMILY Agricultural Extension Services. The Collection Centre staff give outgrowers technical advice on orchard maintenance and post-harvest handling of macadamia nuts in addition to buying the nuts harvested by the outgrowers soon after de-husking. While we have already started the outgrowers operation in Kyenjojo District to serve all the surrounding areas, similar arrangements are underway for the other macadamia farming areas around the country.
outgrowers in various regions of the country with macadamias at different stages of growth and maturity.
Our management team regularly visits out growers to see their farms seeing and getting first-hand information on the challenges the out growers are facing in growing the crop and giving necessary advice.
As part of our social responsibility program we support, and are involved in the development of emerging farmers by providing technical training and assistance with affordable macadamia good quality seedlings to encourage the growing of the crop in other rural areas and ensuring good agricultural practices in the farms. We also look forward to continue improving on planting materials quality and service provision to farmers.
We are looking into the possibilities of facilitating access to funding for the macadamia farmers’ operations. That comes together with specialised macadamia farming inputs mobilisation program to be run together with inputs suppliers.
We have the first and only macadamia processing factory, NUTS Processors Uganda. As the pioneers in macadamia value chain in Uganda AMAFH Farms Limited guarantees the macadamias farmers of a ready market for their nuts as and when they are harvesting.
