Cooperative Society Members
The word ‘Abamwe’ means Unity in the western Uganda dialect of Runyakitara. Abamwe is a membership-based cooperative of vanilla and cocoa farmers.
Abamwe’s members take a lot of pride in promoting Ugandan Vanilla and Cocoa – which is why from inception they have chosen organic farming as a way of life.
Our Values
How we work with our farmers
The cooperative’s leaders are appointed from the farming community. <<Add some more context>>
There are two harvests that are coordinated among all the farmers. The primary harvest occurs between June and July, while the secondary harvest occurs between November and December. Harvesting is a family endeavor.
There are a total of 6174 acres of farmland, with 1,500 to 2,000 vanilla orchids per hectare.
After the green vanilla beans are harvested by the farmers, they notify the Abamwe office. Our office mobilizes a team to collect the pods and start preparing them for the curing process.
