Who We Are

We Bridge Uganda's
Finest Farms
to the World

Founded in 2025, BABA COFFEE SUPPLY (PVT) S.A is headquartered in Johannesburg and proudly registered with the CIPC of South Africa. We identified the disconnect between Uganda's world-class smallholder farmers and international buyers — and we built the bridge.

Through our exclusive partnership with KIBE COFFEE AND COCOA SUPPLIES UGANDA LIMITED, we supply fully traceable, sustainably-grown beans that are extraordinary in every cup and every chocolate bar.

Why Choose Baba

Why African
Beans Are
Different

🌿

Shade-Grown in Volcanic Soil

Uganda's Mount Elgon sits on mineral-rich highlands, producing coffee with naturally complex, layered flavour profiles unmatched by lowland farms.

🤝

Farmer-First, Fair Trade

We pay above-market prices directly to farmers, eliminating intermediaries and reinvesting in communities and training programmes.

🔍

Full Batch Traceability

Every shipment includes complete origin documentation — specific farm, processing method, moisture content, and export certificates.

All partner farms operate under organic and shade-growing practices with a strict zero-deforestation policy.
