Ontmoet het team
Solomon Winky
I'm Solomon (@thecacaofarmer on Instagram and Twitter) a Market and Social Research Consultant by profession and a Farmer by heritage. I co-own a small East African Consultancy called Research Moguls Ltd or REMO in Uganda (as a brand of Explode 360° an experiential marketing Agency) and in Rwanda. I'm a third generation Cocoa Farmer, which I began focusing on in 2018.
My grandfather, Antonia Kayongo was one of three progressive model farmers selected in 1959 before Uganda's independence to pilot and encourage Cocoa Farming in central Uganda, so this is a piece of my heritage I had neglected. I realise the importance of value addition for cocoa to improve origin farmers and community incomes and livelihoods hence thanks to Gillian Goddard and this tribe of awesome Black people for inviting me to travel this adventure with them.
