Our Story
How it Started
Kasana means sunshine or sun in Luganda. Our purpose is to bring you nutritious all-natural dried fruit and spices which give the best tasting and yet guilt-free pleasure.
Our Story
Every year, 40 percent of Uganda’s fruits and vegetables go to waste. This is partly because there is often excess farm produce and the available market is too small to exhaust the produce. Consequently, smallholder farmers lose $1,000 per acre per season harvest in post-harvest food loss.
