Hannie Chocolate Ltd, a rising Ugandan artisanal chocolate company, distinguished itself as the 1st Runner-Up for Best Exhibitor at the 25th EAC MSME Trade Fair held in Nairobi—an achievement that reflects the exceptional quality of its products and the strides made through EU–EAC MARKUP II support.
“Thank you for inviting Hannie Chocolate to the MSME Trade Fair and for MARKUP II’s excellent support throughout,” said Hannington Mubunga of Hannie Chocolate Ltd.
Through the support, the company strengthened its value addition processes, upgraded its marketing and branding, improved packaging, and gained greater access to regional markets. During the trade fair, Hannie Chocolate connected with buyers and packaging suppliers from across East Africa, boosting visibility for its single-origin, Ugandan-made chocolates.
Building on this momentum, the company plans to enhance its packaging and spotlight its single-origin and organic product lines to better position itself in premium regional and international markets.
