The Nile is the mother river that gave birth to the ancient civilization of Egypt. the sediment brought from the upstream has become fertile soil downstream, with a basin as wide as nine countries. The White Nile is one of the two tributaries of the upper reaches of the Nile (the other is the Blue Nile). It originates from Lake Victoria and gets its name because of the milky white clay suspended in the water. According to statistics, the water volume of the White Nile accounts for about 16% of the total water volume of the Nile, but it can rise to 80% during the April-May dry season, making it a favorite of stream adventurers.

Uganda, which became independent in 1962, is a country lacking agricultural land in North Africa, with many mountains and lakes. Most people live in southern Uganda, and the Nile basin in northern Uganda has a humid and warm climate. Uganda's natural environment has fertile soil and stable rainfall. 80% of Uganda's employed population are farmers, and coffee is the third largest export agricultural product after cotton and tea.

In this area, after the coffee fruit is harvested, the immature cherry floating beans are selected by washing the cherry fruit, peeled and peeled for about 1 hour in the courtyard for preliminary drying, and then moved to the elevated bed for 2 weeks of drying. Finally, the coffee is centrifugally dried for 36-48 hours to reach a suitable water content before it is exported.

The post-processing plant in the production area also uses volcanic rock wastewater treatment to clean up and recover the wastewater.
