Coetzee Natural Products

COETZEE NATURAL PRODUCTS (U) LTD was registered in Uganda in 2005. The primary activity of the company is growing and exporting organic vanilla.

The Company has many years experience in organic agricultural enterprises and the International requirements of the marketing disciplines of organic production.

Uganda lies on the shores of Lake Victoria, between the vast jungles of the Democratic Republic of Congo and plains and savannahs of Kenya and Tanzania. Most of the country is at a considerable height above sea level (1,300m for Kampala) thus enjoying a wonderful climate with springtime temperatures all year round. Tropical rainfall arrives in two major seasons, enabling the production of two harvests per year:

July/August and December/January.

Uganda is home to a vast variety of flora and fauna and vanilla has certainly found it's permanent home here.

Coetzee in Uganda employs experienced field inspection and training officers that continuously visit all the farmers to ensure that the proper procedures for organic production are being fully met.

We have contracted eight hundred and fifty organic smallholder farmers in five districts of Uganda to grow vanilla exclusively for our use.
