Upendo Ventures — Our Staff

Explore Upendo Ventures Staff, Agronomists, and Quality Control Team. Engage with Coffee specialists, Extension services, and Farmer Trainers in Kyotera-Masaka.

Upendo Ventures’ staff are the heartbeat of our work in Greater Masaka, a tight-knit, professionally skilled team committed to turning quality coffee into lasting income for smallholder farmers. We combine local knowledge with technical expertise: agronomists who coach better farming techniques, field officers who coordinate farmer groups and aggregation hubs, quality specialists who ensure every lot meets specialty standards, processing technicians who run our wet and dry mills, and commercial teams who open premium markets and negotiate fair premiums. Behind the scenes, our finance, monitoring & evaluation, and administrative staff keep operations transparent, efficient, and focused on measurable impact.

Our people share a common ethos: farmer-first, practical, and results-driven. We hire professionals who speak the local languages, understand seasonal realities, and can translate market requirements into actionable, low-cost solutions on the ground. Training and capacity building are core to how we work; staff run regular on-farm demonstrations, group clinics, and quality workshops so farmers adopt climate-smart practices and better post-harvest handling. We emphasize gender inclusion and youth engagement in hiring and programming, ensuring women and young entrepreneurs play leading roles across the value chain.

What sets our team apart is the blend of experience and humility: seasoned coffee experts who listen to farmers, data-literate staff who track KPIs like yields and household incomes, and problem-solvers who adapt quickly to weather, pest, or market shifts. Collaboration is woven into daily practice, staff coordinate with cooperatives, input suppliers, NGOs, and buyers to scale solutions while keeping benefits local.

In short, our staff don’t just deliver services, they build relationships, strengthen farmer organizations, raise quality, and unlock value that remains in farming communities.
