From our cooperative farmlands in the Moshi and Hai districts of Tanzania, we lead partnerships that restore landscapes, strengthen rural livelihoods, support local schools and bring responsibly produced coffee to European and global markets.
African Partnerships Kilimanjaro (APK) is a Tanzanian coffee agribusiness rooted in the Kilimanjaro region. Established in 2007 as the Tanzanian subsidiary of Oro Moprogrammesnternational coffee group founded in Colombia in 1999, APK brings South-South expertise in ecological farming, agribusiness management and international coffee trade.
Together with 6 rural cooperatives, we administer 7 farmlands covering more than 1,300 hectares along the Weruweru River. As anchor and lead agribusiness, we design and implement programmes where business performance, community well-being and ecosystem health move forward together.
We combine agronomy, finance and partnerships to solve the problems that matter most to farming communities and to the buyers who depend on them.

Six complementary initiatives, one landscape. Our flagship programme upgrades irrigation, scales up regenerative coffee farming, protects watersheds with native trees and expands resilient maize seed production, reaching more than 12,500 farmers and their families.
