About Us

Divine Organic Foods is building on a great potential for commercialising cassava and sweet potatoes being the main crops prioritised by households for their food security and income in Northern Uganda.

  • Cassava:Introduced in Uganda between 1862 and 1875, it is currently one of the most important food and cash crop in Uganda, contributing significantly to basic food requirements of smallholder farmers. However, years of the devastating Cassava Mosaic and Cassava Brown Streak diseases caused massive crop losses to farmers and affected food security of many households coupled with war and displacement in Northern Uganda led to near extinction of the crop. (FAO). Divine Organic food recognized the need to tape into the current potential of the cassava enterprise. Cassava can be used for a variety of domestic and industrial purpose; as food, as starch for binding in the food and paper industry, High quality Cassava flour can also be as partial substitute to wheat for baking.
  • Sweet Potatoes (Orange Flesh Sweet Potato):is an important source of beta- carotene, the pre-cursor to Vitamin A. just 125gms of fresh sweet potato root from most varieties contains enough beta-carotene to provide the daily provitamin A needs of a pre-schooler (ICP). OFSP has the potential of fighting VAD in Northern Uganda which is currently records the highest number of children suffering from Vitamin A Deficiency. OFSP and its products are rich in beta-carotene; vitamin A and C; and fibres that support brain functions, enhances immunity, stabilizers blood sugar and promotes vision health. With good community nutritional education, increased consumption of OFSP enhances levels of vitamin A which bridges the malnutrition gap in children and deficiencies in pregnant women. OFSP can be used as food and when processed can be consumed in confectionary products as a partial wheat substitute and can be used as composites for porridge
