As part of efforts to promote Ugandan coffee in Europe and other parts of the world, Thomas JM Global Export Limited is providing farmers with opportunities to sell their coffee on the global market.

The company aims to become a leading African brand recognized worldwide for excellence in automotive solutions and high-quality Ugandan coffee exports. In addition to export activities, the company is supporting farmers to improve their livelihoods through various initiatives, including organizing workshops to equip them with knowledge on better coffee farming practices and how to maximize profits.

Yesterday in Kampala, the company highlighted its vision and purpose in advancing Uganda’s coffee sector.

Uganda earns significant revenue from coffee exports, and companies like Thomas JM Global Export Limited contribute to this through tax payments to the government. These revenues are used to support national development programs such as the construction of roads, hospitals, schools, and other infrastructure.

The company is also bridging the gap between Europe and Uganda by exporting Ugandan coffee to European countries and other parts of the world, enabling international consumers to enjoy Uganda’s premium coffee. In doing so, it has helped expand the market for local coffee.

Thomas JM Global Export Limited is a Ugandan-owned company operating in both the automotive sector and agricultural exports, with a strong focus on premium coffee. Led by Jim Tubuhaburwa, the company promotes quality, innovation, and sustainability while empowering local communities and contributing to Uganda’s economic growth.

The company emphasizes its commitment to delivering high-quality Ugandan coffee beans with authenticity and strong customer value practices. Farmers expressed optimism that as the company continues to grow, they will benefit even more from expanded market opportunities.

The company’s leadership includes Thomas Hankansson, Chief Executive Officer and Co-founder in Europe; Marie Chariotte Marks, Co-founder in the United States; and Jim Tubuhaburwa, Chief Business Development Officer and Co-founder.
