Agro Value Processors Impex U Ltd., Uganda

We operate out of Dr.No. 12-3-8 on Peenaa Mohammed Street. This is in the Tarapeta area, which is a busy part of town with a lot of small streets and shops tucked away. Even though the company name is a bit of a mouthful, our day-to-day life here is pretty straightforward. We deal with processing and imports, so there is always a lot of paperwork to manage. The street can get quite crowded with people and carts, so getting deliveries in and out takes a bit of planning. Our building is an older one and has a lot of character, though the walls could probably use a fresh coat of paint. Inside, it’s mostly just us working around big tables and keeping track of the shipments. It gets a bit humid during certain times of the year, so we keep the windows open to catch whatever breeze we can from the street. We don't have a big corporate lobby or anything like that. When people come by, they usually just walk right into the main work area. It’s a very hands-on type of business. We spend a lot of time checking the goods and making sure the numbers match up. Tarapeta is a lively place to be, and there is always someone passing by the door to say hello. We aren't doing anything fancy, just keeping the processors running and making sure the business stays moving forward one day at a time.
