Who We Are
Learn about our mission, vision, and the passionate team driving agricultural transformation.
Our Story
Sustainably Connected Farmers Agriprenuer Market (SUCOFAM) was established in June 2024 in Kasese, Uganda, with a clear mandate: to transform the lives of smallholder farmers through sustainable agriculture, market access, and inclusive value chain participation.
We recognized that while Uganda's agricultural potential is immense, many farmers — especially women and youth — remain trapped in subsistence farming due to limited knowledge, poor market access, and exploitative middlemen.
Today, SUCOFAM operates across multiple districts, working with organized farmer groups in coffee, cocoa, and honey value chains. Our approach combines capacity building, structured market linkages, and climate-smart practices to ensure long-term, sustainable impact.
Our Vision
To build a transformed agricultural sector in Uganda where farmers especially women and youth adopt improved agronomic practices, produce high-quality, market-compliant products, and participate equitably in transparent and profitable value chains free from exploitation.
Our Mission
To empower farmers through capacity building in good agronomic practices, quality assurance, and post-harvest management, while strengthening access to market information, financial services, and structured markets enabling them to reduce distress sales, overcome middlemen exploitation, and secure fair, sustainable incomes from coffee, cocoa, and honey value chains.
Our Goals
Increase Farmer Incomes and Market Participation
To transition smallholder farmers from subsistence to commercial, market-integrated production systems by strengthening value addition, aggregation, and direct market linkages for coffee, cocoa, and honey.
Empower Women and Youth for Inclusive Agribusiness Leadership
To enhance equitable participation and leadership of women and youth across agricultural value chains by improving access to skills, finance, productive resources, and enterprise opportunities.
Build Climate-Resilient and Sustainable Farming Systems
To promote climate-smart agriculture, environmental conservation, and resilience-building practices that safeguard productivity, restore ecosystems, and ensure long-term sustainability of farming households.
SUCOFAM Culture
Empowerment-Driven
We operate with a deep commitment to farmer empowerment, ensuring that every intervention builds the capacity, confidence, and agency of smallholder farmers especially women and youth to actively lead and benefit from agricultural value chains.
Market-Oriented Performance
We foster a results-driven environment where quality, competitiveness, and market alignment guide all operations from production to value addition and trade ensuring farmers’ transition from subsistence to profitable agribusiness.
Inclusive & Participatory
We uphold a culture where every voice matters, promoting gender equality, youth inclusion, and participatory decision-making across farmer groups, cooperatives, and organizational structures.
Sustainability & Resilience
We embed climate-smart thinking and environmental stewardship into all actions, ensuring that farming systems, communities, and ecosystems are resilient, regenerative, and future-ready.
Holistic Impact
We go beyond agriculture by promoting integrated household transformation, addressing income, nutrition, education, health, and financial inclusion as interconnected drivers of sustainable livelihoods.
