Forced out of Uganda by Idi Amin during the expulsion of Asians in 1972, Amin Shivji and his wife Gulzar found a home away from home in Canada. While there, Shivji took a special interest in organic foods. He eventually set up eight organic food stores across Canada, which still are in operation today.
In 1994, the Shivjis decided to return to Uganda to their 430-acre family farm. The couple began growing organic fruit.
“Our children think we are silly to be here, but because we have always believed in Uganda, we want to contribute to the growth of this country,” said Shivji.
The Shivji’s AMFRI Farms, also known as African Organic, is today one of the largest exporters of organic fresh and dried fruits to mainly Europe and the Middle East.
