Pineapples from Uganda - Ananas comosus - have exceptional juiciness and a vibrant tropical flavour that balances the tastes of sweet and tart. They are available all year-round in for supply. Pineapples have a wide cylindrical shape, a scaly green, brown or yellow skin and a regal crown of spiny, blue-green leaves and fibrous yellow flesh. The area closer to the base of the fruit has more sugar content and therefore a sweeter taste and more tender texture.
Market research shows that our pineapple is sweeter and tastier than any in the market, we welcome you to taste it.

The flesh and juice of the pineapple are used in cuisines around the world. In many tropical countries, pineapple is prepared and sold on roadsides as a snack. It is sold whole or in halves with a stick inserted. Whole, cored slices with a cherry in the middle are a common garnish on hams in the West. Chunks of pineapple are used in desserts such as fruit salad, as well as in some savory dishes, including pizza toppings, or as a grilled ring on a hamburger. Crushed pineapple is used in yogurt, jam, sweets, and ice cream. The juice of the pineapple is served as a beverage, and it is also the main ingredient in cocktails such as the piña colada and in the drink tepache.

Fresh fruit and vegetable prices – our global connection - focuses on international influence, through imports and exports.
Fruit and vegetable prices are affected by factors such as temperature, weather, and availability. These factors include: freight costs, growing conditions and weather events overseas, biosecurity issues, and legislation. Fresh fruit and vegetables are a dietary staple for most East Africans.
We live in a country with a variable climate that allows us to produce a wide range of fresh fruit and vegetables during the year for export. With a variety to choose from of good quality.
However, we are also vulnerable to the ways international and domestic factors can affect the export prices paid for year-round supplies of greens and fruits and this gives us the price per unit (generally kilograms).
We make payment possible to account to account, branch, any forex, or mobile money, money online and transfer to our accounts.
