The Region
Uganda is home to a whole range of fantastic coffees, from the fertile slopes of Bushenyi to the dramatic heights and sparkling crater lakes of Bunyaruguru. The high altitudes and cool equatorial climate enhance slow ripening and give rise to some of the best coffees produced by Africa’s smallholder farmers. The farmers producing this coffee are working together as progressive, forward-thinking farmers to market their coffee and to improve their livelihoods.
 
Particularities
Whilst the economy as a whole has expanded and improved in recent years, coffee remains of vital importance. It is estimated that as much as 20% of the entire population earn all or a large part of their cash income from coffee. Following decades of total state control of the sector, the coffee industry was fully liberalised between 1991 and 1992 and is currently entirely in private hands. However, export quality control remains the responsibility of the Uganda Coffee Development Authority (UCDA) that grades, liquors and classifies all export shipments.
