Nkoola Agencies International: A Leading Exporter of Beans and Pineapples in Uganda

Khalid Kadala, Managing Director of Nkoola Agencies International Ltd, mentions some of the success stories he is proud of. In Uganda, Nkoola Agencies is one of the leading exporters of yellow beans, fresh pineapples, maize flour and specialists in the case of fresh peeled Ugandan bananas and unprocessed or purely raw honey.

“We used to have about 200 workers who were doing mostly beans. Because of the type of people who come to us and do this work, we know that we are able to employ and give them something to live for. It is something that I really feel happy about. About 98% of those workers are women and single mothers. They are able to earn a wage every day. We also have a success story with pineapples. More than half of the pineapple produced here in Uganda spoils in the field. The farmers do not have a way to sell them. If I am able to find a buyer to sell this product to and export so they do not go to waste, I will be proud. I also am happy that people call me personally to work with us. It makes me very motivated”, says Khalid Kadala.
