JBER Coffee Ltd Secures Export Approval to China

In a significant boost for Uganda’s agricultural export sector, JBER Coffee Ltd has officially received approval to export coffee beans and sesame to China. This milestone, certified by Uganda’s Ministry of Agriculture, Animal Industry, and Fisheries, marks a new chapter for the company as it expands into one of the world’s largest consumer markets.

The registration certificate (UG/GACC/2025/0071) was granted after JBER Coffee Ltd successfully passed a sanitary and phytosanitary audit, ensuring compliance with stringent export regulations under The Plant Protection and Health Act 2016. The approval confirms that JBER Coffee meets the required standards to supply high-quality coffee and sesame to Chinese buyers.

Uganda is already renowned as one of Africa’s leading coffee producers, and this new certification reinforces its growing reputation on the global stage. With China’s coffee consumption steadily rising, this export deal presents a lucrative opportunity for both JBER Coffee and the wider Ugandan agribusiness sector. Industry experts believe this milestone will encourage more Ugandan exporters to tap into Asia’s booming agricultural markets, paving the way for increased trade partnerships.

The approval is expected to create new opportunities for local farmers, ensuring that their produce reaches high-value international markets. With an expanding export network, smallholder farmers who supply JBER Coffee Ltd could benefit from better prices, improved farming practices, and greater economic stability.

As JBER Coffee Ltd gears up to fulfill export demands, the company remains committed to maintaining the highest quality standards while supporting Uganda’s agricultural economy. The Ministry of Agriculture continues to encourage more businesses to seek international certification, helping Uganda solidify its position as a competitive player in global agricultural exports.

For farmers, traders, and industry stakeholders, this certification signals a new era of growth—one where Ugandan coffee and sesame can shine on the world stage, one shipment at a time.
