Who We Are

Olives Organic Foods is Uganda's premier integrated agro-industrial operation — sourcing, processing, and exporting premium organic commodities to global markets. We are a product of Olives Expeditions Limited, a Kampala-based company committed to connecting people, businesses, and communities through sustainable solutions.

Our approach is grounded in a simple belief: the best food comes from land that is cared for. We work with certified organic farming practices, maintain ISO-accredited processing facilities, and operate with full traceability from field to final product.

Working with certified producers across Uganda's fertile growing regions, we source, process, and export cocoa beans, coffee, maize flour, rice, spaghetti, and a range of organic commodities — delivering export-grade quality to buyers across Africa, Europe, and beyond.
