Direct Trade FAQ
What Is Direct Trade Ugandan Coffee?
Direct trade means sourcing green beans directly from the exporter who buys from farmers, without commodity brokers adding markup. Nonda Coffee pays 23% above UCDA farmgate, provides full lot traceability, and includes SCA cupping scores with every shipment.
How Much Does Direct Trade Ugandan Coffee Cost?
From approximately $4.20/kg FOB Mombasa for commercial grades and $5.50-7.75/kg for specialty Arabica micro-lots. Contact [email protected] or +256 749 656 605 for a specific quote.
What Is the Difference Between Direct Trade and Fair Trade?
Fair Trade sets a minimum price floor. Direct trade goes further: direct buyer negotiation, well above minimum pricing, and full traceability to specific farmer groups. Nonda's model is not certification-dependent.
