  8. CHALLENGES MET BY COMPANY • Seasonality of fruits • Poor quality is delivered • Competition with exporter creates hiking of market prices. • Specific quality and variety are still low for bulk processing. • Machinery for refining and extraction of some fruits i.e. apple, banana.

  9. CHALLENGES MET BY FARMERS • Identification of the correct varieties for processing • Lack of market information for farmers • Pest and diseases decrease the expected yield • Farmers still have a challenge to form supply groups which can handle industrial production • Lack disease free planting material for farmer to grow the required variety

  10. BREAKTHROUGH BY BRITANIA Decision of setting up an independent fruit processing plant. Investing in a 5million dollar state of the art plant with all modern technologies. Capacity around 5000 kg of fruit per hr Fruits- mango, pineapple, passion, tomato and orange. Good enough to produce pulp of export quality

BREAKTHROUGH BY BRITANIA Linked with biggest net work of fruit growers Scope includes to involve farmers from all over Uganda Ensures the farmers to buy their whole crop Local varieties will be preferred with technical modifications through agronomy inputs Can cater to the regional demand of pulp to the importing nations
