What This Certificate Means For You

In plain terms, this certificate confirms that Cents Coffee Ltd is legally authorised by the Ugandan government to export coffee internationally, and that we operate under specific conditions designed to protect buyers and the wider coffee trade:

  • We may sell coffee via tender, auction, contract, or direct sale to reputable international traders — not informal or unverified channels.
  • Every export shipment must move through an approved port — Mombasa, Entebbe, or Dar-es-Salaam — under agreed contract terms (FOB).
  • Coffee is tracked from our factory through to the shipping point using our internal traceability system (see our Quality Assurance process).
  • Any new coffee type or grade we bring to market must first be approved by MAAIF’s Department of Coffee Development — so grading claims like Screen 12/15/18 or AA/AB are not self-declared marketing terms; they follow a regulated national standard.
  • We are permitted to purchase coffee from other licensed processors in Uganda for export, provided the required quality certificates and transport permits accompany each purchase.

If you are a roaster, importer, or wholesale buyer evaluating us as a supplier, this certificate is the document your compliance or procurement team will want on file — feel free to request a high-resolution copy or verification directly through our contact page.
