Serve to Save Company (SESACO) founder Charles Nsubuga and wife Juliett show international journalists how the company uses U.S. soy protein and local soybeans to make healthy foods and beverages. The 80-employee company distributes soy protein foods in six African countries.

WISHH Executive Director Jim Hershey introduced a delegation of agricultural journalists from around the world to Charles Nsubuga, founder of Serve to Save Company (SESACO) based in Kampala, Uganda.

As a result, SESACO hosted the International Federation of Agricultural  Journalists at the company this week. The group sampled a variety of healthy African foods, some made with U.S soy, others from Ugandan grown whole soybeans. U.S. Department Foreign Agricultural Service funding has assisted WISHH’s work with SESACO, including soy protein utilization training and marketing support.

SESACO purchases soy protein products from CHS and DuPont Nutrition & Health, Protein Solutions, as well as whole soybeans from local Ugandan farmers. The 80-employee SESACO distributes soy protein foods in Uganda, Burundi, Democratic Republic of Congo, Rwanda, Tanzania and Sudan.
