KILIMO KISASA LTD
A SOCIAL ENTERPRISE SPECIALIZED IN COMMERCIAL HIGHLAND IRISH POTATO FARMING, SEED DEVELOPMENT & SALES, TRAINING AND EXTENSION, REGENERATIVE AGRICULTURE AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
Kilimo Kisasa Limited is a Ugandan social farm enterprise located in the highlands of the Albertine Rift, in the Ugandan-Congolese cross-border area north of Lake Albert, specialized in the development and sustainable production of seed potatoes (Solanum tuberosum) for regional farmers. These high-quality seed potatoes are rotated with maize, soybean, common beans, among other crops, that are partly processed and sold regionally. The profits we make from this business flow directly back into the community and the ecosystems they depend on.
We collaborate closely with Ugandan and Dutch stakeholders like regional farmers, research institutions, universities, local government and Dutch seed potato farmers in sustainable potato development so to tailor-made modern procedures and technologies to the local circumstances. New and practical approaches of combining intensive food production with soil quality improvement, soil fertility and water conservation as well as with forest and biodiversity restoration are our contribution to answering to the world’s sustainability needs.
All knowledge and experiences we gain in the process of sustainable seed potato production on our farm enterprise, we translate to practical trainings. These trainings vary from soil fertility assessments and mechanization to water conservation and biodiversity restoration.
Therefore, Kilimo Kisasa Limited positions itself as a role model farm in an agro-enterprise ecosystem in which sustainable production is only met and secured through knowledge exchange and conservation of the natural environment.
