01 Our Story

Built on compliance. Trusted by trade.

Karaz Coffee Factory Limited began as a coffee processing and export venture more than a decade ago, formally registered in January 2012 under the Uganda Registration Services Bureau.

We operate fully within Ugandan law and work hand in hand with the bodies that govern the trade - the Uganda Revenue Authority, the National Social Security Fund, the Uganda National Bureau of Standards, and the Uganda Coffee Development Authority. That foundation of compliance is the reason buyers can trust what leaves our factory.

Coffee garden supplying Karaz Coffee Factory

Rooted in the farmer.

Good coffee starts long before it reaches our factory floor, so we built our business around the people who grow it. We promote intercropped production - coffee paired with soybeans, beans, and groundnuts - so farming households earn all year and treat coffee as a reliable cash crop.

When the farmer is secure, our supply is secure.

02 The Network

A supply chain with names, not just numbers.

Growing from central Uganda - Luwero, Mukono, Kayunga, Masaka - into the west and east of the country.

03 The Process

From farm to export.

A clear process designed to protect quality at every step.

/01

Receive & Hull

Coffee arrives from our partner cooperatives. We hull and clean every delivery to remove the outer layers and any foreign matter.

/02

Grade & Inspect

Clean beans are graded by screen size, then sorted to remove defective beans until uniformity is achieved.

/03

Verify & Document

Every lot is verified against national standards and documented for traceability and compliance.

/04

Package & Export

Green coffee is packed in jute bags or containers and shipped to international buyers around the world.

04 The Coffee

Graded by screen. Chosen by size.

After milling, beans are graded by screen size - each number is the hole size in sixty-fourths of an inch. Larger screen, larger bean, better price, more consistent roast.

05 Traceability — EUDR

Every container, traceable to the source.

The EU Deforestation Regulation sets the conditions for selling coffee into the European market. We built our sourcing around its four commitments.

/01

Deforestation Free

Coffee from land not cleared of forest after 31 December 2020. We source from established farms, not newly cleared land.

/02

Legally Produced

Grown in line with the laws of the country of origin - land use, environment, and labour. Our registered cooperatives support this.

/03

Traceable to the Plot

Each consignment is tied to specific farms using geolocation data. Coffee traces back to where it was grown.

/04

Due Diligence

Before coffee enters the EU market it is covered by a due diligence statement, backed by our records and farmer mapping.

When you buy from Karaz, you buy coffee with a known and documented origin.
