Jumia Food has finally launched Jumia Prime in Uganda, here is where how I landed on it. I have been adjusting to online shopping of recent, especially with Jumia food for my weekend hunger frustrations and other special self-appreciation days.
I have discovered of recent that Jumia Food introduced a new delivery subscription service which is called Jumia Prime. The first I heard of Jumia Prime was in Nigeria, and this is currently available for shopping on Jumia platforms in select cities around Nigeria.
