Oliver’s business is one of the promising clients under the technical farming sector in the Mango Fund portfolio. Established in 2020 and registered in 2023, the company specializes in mushroom cultivation and value addition, producing mushroom growing kits, fresh mushrooms, dried mushrooms, and mushroom powder. The business supplies supermarkets, hotels, restaurants, and individual customers across central Uganda and has built a strong reputation for producing high-quality mushroom products.

The business has experienced steady growth driven by increasing demand and product diversification. In addition to fresh mushrooms, Oliver produces dried mushrooms and mushroom powder, extending product shelf life and reducing post-harvest losses. The company also works with women and youth mushroom growers by providing training and a ready market for their produce, strengthening both its supply chain and community impact.

In 2026, Mango Fund’s investment enabled Oliver to purchase a motorized mushroom substrate mixer, replacing the labour-intensive manual mixing process. The new equipment improves the consistency of substrate preparation, increases production efficiency, reduces turnaround time, and positions the business to achieve its target of producing 100 kilograms of fresh mushrooms per day.

The investment is expected to strengthen the business by increasing production capacity, improving product quality, meeting growing market demand, and creating additional employment opportunities, positioning Oliver’s company for sustainable long-term growth.
