Kilimo Trust started its operations in East Africa in 2005 as a research entity and grant-giving organization to support research that connected science with farmers. At that time, the Trust was funded by the Gatsby Charitable Foundation (GCF) which was founded by Lord David Sainsbury in 1967 to support multiple projects in Africa and Asia.
Over the past 20 years, The company has built a solid reputation as a reliable partner for sustainable market-led agricultural development in the East African region.
With headquarters in Uganda, and affiliated subsidiaries in Kenya, Tanzania, Burundi and Rwanda, Kilimo Trust maintains a lean operations team, choosing to work through partnerships with local and regional actors for efficiency.
In each of the East African countries, the agriculture sector employs over 70 percent of the population. However, the contribution of this sector to GDP is no more than 30 percent across all those economies.
Kilimo Trust is committed to addressing this and other sector challenges by structuring national and regional trade in agricultural products in support of its mission to make agribusiness a transformative tool for wealth creation, food and nutrition security for smallholder farmers and value chain actors.
