ALTALE: Powering Uganda’s Coffee Journey from Soil to Shelf

At ALTALE, we don’t just participate in Uganda’s coffee industry — we operate across every single link of the value chain. From the roots in the farms to shelves across the world, we handle it all. Our commitment is to ensure that Uganda’s coffee is not only cultivated with care but also processed, packaged, and presented to the global market with the highest standards.
