DGB Group is a publicly listed nature restoration company turning reforestation and regeneration into real-world assets : trees, carbon credits, cookstoves — and now, coffee.
We’ve planted millions of trees. We’ve built a network of thousands of smallholder farmers. We’ve secured verified carbon programs. The next step is trade.
We are now building a verified supply chain to take coffee from farmer to global buyer. This will create income for rural communities, support biodiversity, and generate long-term credit value through agroforestry-linked models.
To make this happen, we are looking for a Coffee Supply Chain Expert — someone who knows the coffee business inside out and can help us set up the entire value chain from scratch.
This is not just another export job. It’s a rare chance to create something entirely new : a traceable, ethical, and climate-positive commodity pipeline from Uganda (and beyond) to the world.
Whether you’re an ambitious junior or a proven leader, your mission is clear : make trade flow. You’ll be hands-on in :
- Designing and launching the full value chain : aggregation, hulling, quality control, storage, trucking, export
- Mapping and costing every step from farmer to buyer
- Building partnerships with cooperatives, processors, transporters, and international buyers
- Piloting shipments (target : 3 truckloads / day = 120 tonnes / week of hulled coffee)
- Setting standards and SOPs for verified, agroforestry-linked commodities
- Signing export agreements and landing long-term buyers
- Preparing cacao as a second wave if coffee operations succeed
