Uganda AA-Bugisu Arabica washed beans

Uganda is located at the source of the Nile River and is a landlocked country in Africa without sea. Although it has a long history of producing coffee like other East African countries, the quality of coffee cannot be improved due to wars caused by ethnic rivalries. Most of the good coffee is grown in the areas adjacent to Kenya. Some good coffee beans are shipped to Kenya to be mixed with Kenyan coffee for sale. Uganda did not become a country with rapid coffee development until the war stopped 15 years ago. Uganda is a country rich in lush green forests, lakes, wetlands and rivers. Coffee is the largest crop in Uganda and earns the most foreign exchange. About 500,000 coffee farms are engaged in coffee-related agriculture, accounting for 25% of the total population. Coffee trees are mostly strong growing Robusta coffee trees. Only 6% of coffee trees are traditional Arabica trees. These rare coffee beans grow in tropical rainforests and are mostly exported to countries around the world.

Arabica grade AA coffee beans

Uganda coffee classification is the same as Kenya, AA grade is the best, this classification means that the size of coffee beans is consistent and uniform, but this classification system will vary according to the evaluation of each estate, for example, estate A is better than estate B, even if AB beans in estate A are better than AA beans in estate B. Coffee sales adopt two channels of fine auction and direct sales. If the details of the processing process and the selection of missing beans are strengthened, I believe that Kenya and Ethiopia can get better sales under the condition of high coffee prices.

Uganda coffee too many empty beans, defective beans and unfermented coffee beans can not improve the quality, do not get a good harvest and price

In 2010, the new season introduced coffee grade AA produced in Bugisu producing area. The coffee beans are dark green. From the appearance of the green beans, you can see that the traditional Arabica beans are about 18-19 mesh in size.
