The story of Agri Evolve started in 2010 at Reading University, UK. Johnny Rowland, a budding Agronomist studying Tropical Agriculture, heard his parents recount inspiring stories from their time spent living and working in rural Uganda. Johnny decided it was something he wanted to experience for himself post-university.
Utilising his parents connections. Johnny, joined by his childhood friend James Wilkinson decided they would travel to the Rwenzori mountains to try their hand at creating agricultural projects, and in the process founded the profit-for-purpose business 'Agri Evolve'.
 
In 2016 Agri Evolve originally started as a collection point for both . The typical approach to processing coffee in the Rwenzori Mountains has been for farmers to process it themselves. Typically drying cherries on tarpaulin in the sun. Sourcing this DRUGAR was considerably easier in the beginning than trying to purchase ripe cherries, it turns out old habits do die hard!
Following investment in processing equipment, demonstration farms and hiring experienced staff, the second-year harvest was a drastic improvement in terms of sourcing unprocessed ripe cherries.
After this first season, processing facilities improved considerably and equipment including; a washer separator, mechanical dryers, Hulling machine and green-houses were all introduced to the station.
The interest in Agri Evolve grew amongst the farming community as we were seen as a stable reliable place to sell coffee, we consistently paid good prices and always paid on time, which, as basic as it is, made a huge difference for farmers.
By the end of the second season Agri Evolve was given some outstanding reviews from a Japanese importer who thought the African Moon coffee was fantastic and "full of potential", which in turn kickstarted the interest in high-quality Rwenzori Coffee that we sourced and processed.
