01Intake and weighing
The lot is weighed and its identity, origin and weight are recorded before anything else happens. From this moment it has a name, and it keeps it.
Why it matters. Traceability begins at the gate, not in the warehouse.
Six steps from the gate to the buyer
Every one of them is there because a buyer somewhere asks for it.
A lot arrives on a truck. This is what happens next.
Scroll across. The same sequence every time, recorded at every stage.
01
02Cleaning and grading
Stones, chaff, broken grain and foreign matter come out. What is left is graded, so quality is a measured fact rather than an opinion.
Why it matters. Cuts losses in milling and brewing.
03Drying
Moisture comes down to between 12 and 14 percent, under control and to a specification, not on a tarpaulin at the mercy of the weather.
Why it matters. Grain that is dried properly keeps.
04Testing
Every intake lot is tested for aflatoxin and moisture. Not a sample of lots. Every one, with the result recorded against it.
Why it matters. The buyer can accept the lot with confidence.
05Segregated storage
Lots are held apart by grain type and quality tier. A careful farmer's harvest keeps its own identity all the way through.
Why it matters. The buyer knows exactly what they are taking.
06Documentation
The lot leaves with its certificate and a full audit trail: where it came from, what was done, what it tested at. The paperwork is the product as much as the grain is.
Why it matters. Meets brewery QA and humanitarian procurement rules.
The numbers a buyer will check
These are the specifications the process is built to meet.
- 12–14%Moisture on release. Below the level at which mould and aflatoxin develop in storage
- 5 ppbEast African Community limit for aflatoxin B1. Every lot is tested against itEAC standard
- 100%Of intake lots tested. Not sampled, not spot-checked
- 1 lot, 1 identityFrom the weighbridge to the certificate, never mixed
Built for two harvests a year
One facility, run properly, filled by the farms around it, working across both of Uganda's harvests. Equipment from manufacturers in Germany and the United States who have built this plant many times before.
- 18,000 tDesigned annual throughput
- 50 tA day, at design capacity
- 2Harvests a year, both served
