About us
We have lived the subsistence life in Uganda. We grew up experiencing the daily struggle. And we fully understand the challenges of reconciling a culture of survival with the demands of Western consumers and important concerns over the global impact of agriculture.
Yet we are incredibly optimistic that we are well placed to make a significant difference from the ground up.
Two sisters on a quest to professionalise vanilla curing and export at a local level, we witnessed our father’s route to business success and come to the scene with a passion to build upon his ethos, leveraging our own expertise in professional services.
We are a new generation of Ugandan-born entrepreneurs. We have strong roots in a country that has the potential to lead the way on agricultural quality and best practice over the coming years – growing the perfect crop using organic methods is core to Ugandan farmers’ livelihoods!
When it comes to the vanilla market, we are bold in our assertion that malpractice fanned by transient middlemen is the underlying cause of quality often being elusive.
As the two directors of Nillavan, we have the opportunity to build truly trusting relationships with our farmers. Key to this is our ability to educate them in the value of transparency, leading by example, and how market requirements actually dove-tail with their expertise so it is clear how they are adding value.
We are not afraid to challenge the status quo. We are located in the UK (Ritah Young, director – strategy and marketing) and Uganda (Cate Nakitanda, director – strategy and operations) to ensure the propagation of best practice and bring our wholesale customers closer to local farmers. And we are constantly striving to maintain the integrity of our vanilla at every stage, in order to deliver a reliable supply of the highest quality cured vanilla out there
