Chia has moved from niche to mainstream in health-focused markets worldwide, and Uganda has emerged as a credible origin for quality chia seed. For Imena Commodities, chia offers strong margins on modest hectarage and a foothold in premium export categories.
Demand for chia is driven by health-conscious consumers in Europe, North America and, increasingly, African cities. Quality, cleanliness and consistency are the entry tickets, and our post-harvest handling is built to meet them.
