The Tools That Make Contract Farming Work
Each Umoja Agricultural Hub will be a self-sustaining industrial complex, purpose-built to serve as the backbone of contract farming operations in a district. These hubs will be the physical infrastructure that turns paper contracts into real income for farming families across Uganda.
Explore Each Hub
Each hub is at a different stage of development. Click through to see detailed timelines, community impact projections, infrastructure plans, and local team contacts.
Umoja Hub, Mbarara is being developed as the pilot hub for a new generation of resilient, integrated agricultural service hubs designed to transform how farmers produce, store, and sell. Built in one of Uganda’s strongest agricultural regions, this first hub will combine grain aggregation, farmer services, milk collection support, market coordination, and value-preserving storage in one practical location.
Umoja Hub, Harugongo is an upcoming integrated agricultural hub being developed to serve the fertile farming communities around Fort Portal and the wider Tooro highlands. Designed as a resilient, mixed-commodity hub, it will support farmers with aggregation, storage, farmer services, market linkage, and practical value-preserving infrastructure in one coordinated location. Harugongo is well positioned for this model because it sits within a productive agricultural landscape known for bananas, beans, onions, Irish potatoes, vegetables, and dairy activity. Umoja Hub will help turn that natural strength into a stronger system for quality, income, and long-term market access.
Inside an Umoja Ag-Hub
Five integrated units working together to de-risk farming, eliminate waste, and deliver prosperity.
The Soil & Input Lab
Each hub will house a state-of-the-art soil analysis station equipped with 5 handheld NPK scanners (SoilCares technology). Farmers will bring soil samples and receive instant, science-based prescriptions for "Ubuntu Blend" fertilizers — custom mixes of organic and mineral inputs calibrated to their specific land.
The Machinery Pool
Our planned "Tractor-as-a-Service" model will provide a fleet of 10 tractors and 5 combine harvesters per hub, available for rent via mobile money. This alone can increase planting area per farmer by 300%.
Multi-Zone Storage Complex
A planned 5,000-ton storage facility divided into three climate-controlled zones. Zone A (Dry Bulk), Zone B (Cold Chain with 4 modular reefer containers), and Zone C (Dehumidified) for high-value crops.
Hydroponic Demo & Training Center
A planned 500m² A-Frame greenhouse dedicated to training up to 200 Ag-Preneurs per year in vertical crop production, drip irrigation, nutrient management, and business planning.
Biomass Drying Station
Will be powered entirely by crop waste, reducing grain moisture from 20% to the export-ready 13% standard. Will be provided free to all contracted farmers.
Smart Infrastructure, Real-Time Data
IoT Sensor Networks
Will provide real-time monitoring of temperature, humidity, and pest activity across all storage zones.
Climate Control Systems
Will automate adjustment of cold chain and dehumidification to maintain optimal storage conditions.
Warehouse Receipt System
A planned custom mobile app that will generate digital receipts for stored crops — instantly usable as bank loan collateral.
Logistics Dashboard
Will feature GPS-tracked collection trucks and milk shuttles ensuring 4-hour farm-to-factory delivery windows.
Invest in the Infrastructure That Ends Poverty
Each hub creates 40 permanent jobs and supports 1,500 contract farming positions in the surrounding community. The return is measured in dollars — and in lives transformed.
