About Stanfield Commodities Exchange Limited

Founded in 2020 by Nelson Mandela, Stanfield Commodities Exchange Limited is a Kampala, Uganda-based company operating within the agricultural technology and food and beverage sectors. The firm's establishment is rooted in its founder's extensive background in finance, entrepreneurship, and a focus on solving food insecurity and climate change challenges. Nelson Mandela holds an MBA in Finance from Makerere University, a Bachelor of Commerce in Accounting, and numerous certifications in finance and forensic investigation, complemented by fellowships in entrepreneurship and community engagement.

Stanfield Commodities Exchange operates as both a diversified conglomerate and an agritech startup. The company's core business involves an e-marketplace for selling food items directly to consumers, aiming to enhance food accessibility and affordability. A significant part of its operations is dedicated to the coffee supply chain, where it specializes in sourcing, processing, producing, and marketing organic coffee for both domestic and international markets. The business model generates revenue primarily through the direct sale of its coffee products. The company addresses the issue of low-value unprocessed coffee beans in Uganda by producing a unique organic coffee with a distinct flavor.

Beyond coffee, the firm processes and packages other food products, working with over 3,000 farmers and a Multipurpose Farmers' Cooperative Society to source its produce. Stanfield's service offerings are extensive, including agro-consulting, farmer training on quality management, market research, and business consultancy. The company also states involvement in more diverse sectors such as mining, import/export, automotive, and proprietary aerospace technology for agriculture, positioning itself as the Stanfield Commodities Exchange Group (SCE GROUP).
