Jakana is working with hundreds of farmers to bring you high quality fruit products using the principles of Environmental, Social and Fair Trade principles to ensure protection for our environment, fair wages for our workers, and fair trade for our farmers. We also work with food artisans to bring you some of the best fresh and sweet treats in Uganda.
All Natural Dried Fruit
Our all natural dried fruit has no added sugars or preservatives, both commercially dehydrated and solar dried options available. We harvest in season to ensure the sweetest natural flavours. Makes a great healthy snack. Order a 30-Day Sample pack and enjoy this great snack every day of the month.
To support our closed loop manufacturing process at our factory, we have opened our Jakana Urban Garden and Nursery, using home made compost of our fruit waste scraps to grow the freshest of herbs and plants. We run our garden organically using no chemicals at all to maintain our healthy and strong plants.
When we discovered that from one apple (grown in Western Uganda) you can make so many different products, we decided to use some to make Apple Pie for Thanksgiving. That started our full service bakery, making fresh products daily.
Jakana Foods was the pioneer for long shelf life packaging here in Uganda, so by partnering with PakMor, we can provide all the packaging solutions for food products made in Uganda. Not only do they provide food safety, but convenience for the shoppers as well. We offer contract packing in a food factory as well.
