Justine and Noah are the entrepreneurs behind a vegetable edible oil and grain processing company established in 2012 and located in Wakiso District, Uganda. Their business specializes in processing, packaging, and distributing edible vegetable oil and soybean cake, serving clients across Uganda and the East African region. In recent years, they have diversified into sesame and vanilla production, both of which have gained strong demand from international buyers in China and the USA.

Our partnership with Justine and Noah began in April 2024, when they first approached Mango Fund for support to replace their old oil press machine, which had become less efficient, frequently broke down, and required constant maintenance causing production downtime. The existing machine could only process 10 tons of soybeans per day, meeting just a quarter of their clients’ demand. To address this challenge, the entrepreneurs sought financing to acquire an automated industrial oil press machine capable of processing 25 tons, significantly improving efficiency and production output.

Encouraged by this success, they later obtained a second loan to purchase a commercial edible oil refinery, packaging, and branding machine, further improving product quality and expanding their market reach.

In October 2025, they sought a third loan to strengthen their logistics operations through the acquisition of a trailer to facilitate export transportation. This investment is expected to reduce operational costs, enhance delivery efficiency, and enable the company to meet growing demand in both local and international markets.
