Juma Tegu Musafiri, managing director, chairman and founder of Buge Fruits 2000, is a man with big dreams. Sitting outside his home in rural Uganda he describes his ambitious plans to expand his company by developing a domestic market for his dried fruit, accessing regional markets and eventually setting up export lines to Europe and beyond.

"Our food is very nice, it is organic," he says proudly. "We dry it naturally so most of the nutrients are preserved, so we cannot see why we cannot start selling to the populace."
