Produce & Source
We work within maize, sorghum and shea value chains, connecting with producers, traders and organised collector groups.
Business Model
From production
to market.
Ubuntu connects production, sourcing, mechanization, processing and market access to create greater value from agricultural resources in South Sudan.
How we work
Building value across the chain.
Our model brings together the services, processing capabilities and market connections needed to create more value from agriculture.
We work across maize, sorghum and shea value chains, connecting producers, traders, organised collector groups, processing activities and customers.
The objective is to strengthen local production, increase value addition and create dependable routes from raw agricultural resources to market-ready products.
The Model
Four connected stages.
Each stage supports the next, helping Ubuntu move agricultural value from source to customer.
Mechanize
Our field services support agricultural production through practical mechanization including land preparation, planting and crop-support operations.
Process
We add value through grain milling, product preparation and the development of market-ready agricultural products.
Supply
Finished products and raw materials are connected to retail, wholesale, commercial and wider market opportunities.
Creating Value
Value should travel in both directions.
Strong agricultural value chains should serve markets while also creating meaningful economic opportunity closer to where products originate.
Local participation
Our model begins with the people, producers, traders and collector groups connected to the agricultural resources we work with.
Local value addition
Processing and product development create opportunities to retain more value within the supply chain before products reach the market.
Market connection
We connect products and raw materials with retail, wholesale, commercial and wider market opportunities.
Shea Woman
A more direct sourcing relationship.
Shea is an important part of Ubuntu's business model and connects natural resources, women collectors, processing and market access.
Ubuntu works with traders, women's groups and shea nut collectors in South Sudan to build a more direct, transparent and dependable supply chain.
The relationship is designed around responsible sourcing, product quality and longer-term market opportunity.
Our sustainability approach
