In Uganda, women form the backbone of the agricultural sector, constituting approximately 70% of the labor force, contributing significantly to food security and economic development. Despite this they often face numerous challenges and low productivity
The inclusion of women is a fundamental value at Reco, as we believe that empowering women is not only a matter of gender equality but also a strategic imperative for sustainable development
Similarly, in Uganda, youth constitute over 78% of the population, yet 60% of them are unemployed, with many engaged in hazardous work.
At Reco, we are intentional about enrolling women and youth as suppliers. To ensure their success, we provide comprehensive support and resources tailored to help them thrive in agriculture.
Our commitment to inclusion extends beyond our products and operations to our workplace and the communities we serve.
We are proud to have been recognized with the Gender Seal Award, a testament to our dedication to gender equality and inclusivity.
