Harvest season is more than just a reward for months of hard labor — it’s the defining moment of a farmer’s journey. At United Agro Pastoral Farmers CIG (UAF), we believe that no farmer should walk that journey alone.
Founded by visionary agripreneur Mogou Christopher, UAF was built not just to teach farmers how to grow, but to walk with them through every season — right to the final basket, sack, or crate. From mechanized tools to manual support teams, from proper post-harvest handling to linking farmers with real buyers, UAF makes harvesting not just possible — but profitable.
đźšś Mechanized Harvesting Services: Speed Meets Precision
One of the challenges many farmers face is harvesting large fields in time before the rains or spoilage sets in. That’s where our fleet of tractors and harvesters comes in. Through our cooperative, we offer mechanized harvesting for:
- Large-scale farms
- Farming groups and cooperatives
- Time-sensitive harvests (like potatoes and maize)
Mechanization drastically reduces labor time and post-harvest losses, and ensures that crops are harvested when they’re at their peak quality.
🧺 Manual Harvesting Assistance: When Human Hands Matter
Not all crops are best harvested by machines. For delicate produce like tomatoes, carrots, or leafy vegetables, UAF organizes trained harvesting teams to:
- Handle crops with care
- Use safety tools and equipment
- Mobilize quickly during peak harvest seasons
These teams, often drawn from local farming communities, not only support our members but also create short-term employment and build community resilience.
📦 Post-Harvest Handling: From Field to Market
Harvesting doesn’t end in the field. What happens next determines the quality, shelf-life, and value of the product. That’s why UAF provides:
- Sorting and grading stations to separate market-ready produce
- Packaging and storage solutions to reduce spoilage
- Preparation support for both local markets and export standards
We understand that presentation and preservation are key to good pricing — and we equip our farmers to meet both.
đź’Ľ Market Linkage After Harvest: Your Harvest, Their Demand
A bountiful harvest is meaningless if it doesn’t reach the right buyer. That’s why UAF connects farmers to:
- Local and national buyers
- Food processors and cooperatives
- Exporters and international partners
We also support our members in price negotiations, ensuring they get a fair return on their investment and labor. Our recent partnerships, including one with France-based LSA Seed Potatoes, have helped position our farmers for international trade and market expansion.
“We don’t just teach farmers how to grow — we walk with them to the harvest, ensuring they reap fully and fruitfully what they have sown.” — Mogou Christopher
🌍 The Bigger Picture
Harvesting support is just one part of UAF’s holistic approach to transforming agriculture in Cameroon and across Africa. Through training, mechanization, improved seed access, and post-harvest marketing, UAF is building a full-circle farming ecosystem where farmers don’t just survive — they thrive.
Every sack harvested is a story of unity, hard work, and impact — and UAF is proud to be a part of that journey.
