We work with 85 rural farmers and women
in Ugandan villages. The rural farmers are first registered
into co-operatives and given registered codes.
Farmers are trained in Good Agricultural Practices
(GAP) leading to conformity to Food Safety and Hygiene
Standards
Jaksons provides farmers with well selected seeds.
We do not use genetically modified seeds.
We market both fresh and dried pepper.
Fresh hot pepper
is harvested when red or yellow and then it is washed,
sorted, graded and packed in new export packaging material.
For dry hot pepper, after harvesting, the pepper is
cut using hygeinic knives and tables to remove the seeds
and placed on trays which are inserted into the drier.
