About Us
who we are
Opportunity Mannya Transformation Services Limited (Trading as Mannya Coffee) was incorporated under Section 18 (3) of the Companies Act 2012 on 26 September 2020. It is a rural based entity located at Mannya in Kifamba Sub-county, Rakai District. It has been established to empower small-holder coffee farmers who are obliged to sell unprocessed coffee to middlemen at very low prices, thus losing not only profits but also by-products (coffee husks, jobs in the processing factories) to other areas.
In addition to improving coffee growing techniques and practices Opportunity Mannya Transformtion Services operates the coffee hulling plant which was commissioned by Hon Amelia Kyambadde, Minister of Trade, Industry and Cooperatives on 29 November 2019.
The Vision of Opportunity Mannya Transformation Services Limited is:
Coffee farmers receive better prices for their coffee for their sustainable livelihoods, customer satisfaction and transformation of society.
We have the capacity to provide you quality coffee
