About

Truism Holdings is a Ugandan agribusiness based in Lira that moves quality produce from smallholder farmers to markets. We source, aggregate, process and distribute oil seeds, spices, herbs, grains and specialty flours, working with 800+ farmers across 12 cooperatives and 60+ farmer groups. Our Truade platform handles farmer profiling, farm mapping and inventory tracking, so every lot is traceable from harvest to delivery. Our consumer brand, Paacu, packs export-quality, single-ingredient staples for Ugandan kitchens.

Mission. To build transparent, efficient food supply chains that connect smallholder farmers to reliable, fairly priced markets, and to keep more of the value of Africa's harvest in Africa
