In late 2024, SOPE Feeds initiated a large-scale agricultural export project focusing on sesame, soybeans, frozen chicken, and animal meal for international markets. The project was designed to position SOPE Feeds as a leading exporter of high-quality agricultural products from the Greater Northern Uganda region while strengthening local agricultural value chains and creating sustainable economic opportunities.
Northern Uganda has vast agricultural potential with fertile soils and favorable climatic conditions suitable for the production of oilseeds and livestock products. However, many farmers lack access to reliable export markets and knowledge on international quality standards. SOPE Feeds recognized this gap and developed an export-driven initiative aimed at connecting smallholder farmers to global markets.
