Export registration granted for the Chinese market
Jber Coffee Ltd has received approval to export coffee beans and sesame to China. The registration was certified by Uganda’s Ministry of Agriculture, Animal Industry and Fisheries and carries the registration number UG/GACC/2025/0071.
It was granted after the company passed a sanitary and phytosanitary audit conducted under the Plant Protection and Health Act 2016. That audit examines handling, storage and phytosanitary control at the facility rather than the quality of any individual consignment, which is why a registration of this kind sits with the exporter rather than travelling with a lot.
The registration covers both coffee and sesame, reflecting the fact that the same cleaning, grading and colour sorting equipment at our facility handles both.
The registration runs for a year and is renewable on application, and the company remains subject to periodic systems inspections under the same sanitary and phytosanitary requirements. It is a standing obligation rather than a one-off award.
For the farmers and farmer groups who supply us, an additional destination market is the practical benefit — more places for a crop to go is what underwrites a price, particularly in a season when a traditional destination is soft.
What this means for a buyer
This is a market access registration held by us as an exporter, not a quality certification and not a claim about any particular coffee. If you are importing into China, it means we can ship to you directly from Uganda under the GACC system. If you are importing anywhere else, it changes nothing about your contract — the specification, the QC reporting and the loading record are the same either way.
