Uganda is located in the East African Plateau, with an average elevation of 900 meters, many lakes, the title of East African Plateau Water Village, across the equator and a warm climate, witnessing the ideal environment for the cultivation of high-quality coffee. Ugandan boutique coffee, elegant acidity, rich layers, warm and mellow, fruity, especially warm and simple African style, memorable for a long time.

Ugandan boutique coffee, cultivated between 1200 meters and 1600 meters above sea level, is grown by traditional methods and treated by natural washing without pesticides or genetically modified ingredients.

Uganda, the seventh largest coffee producer in the world and the second largest coffee producer in Africa (after Ivory Coast), has also invited genetic engineering to replace the country's old coffee trees. Uganda plans to increase coffee production from 3.5 million bags (60 kg each) to 5 million bags per year within three to five years. This used to be a pipe dream, but now genetic engineering can complete the plan to increase production without any effort.

Scientists selected the highly productive and disease-resistant Robusta coffee tree to replicate and replace the aging Ugandan coffee tree, a genetically modified variety that can blossom and bear fruit in two years to produce coffee beans, unlike the traditional five-year planting. A member of the Uganda Coffee Development Bureau pointed out that coffee diseases and insect pests are very serious at present, and the authorities hope that coffee farmers will grow newly cultivated coffee, which is more resistant to disease and has higher production capacity. Seedling farms can be seen everywhere in the coffee-producing areas of Uganda, and this large number of replicated saplings will eliminate 10% of the old coffee trees every year.

How about copying coffee word-of-mouth?

The Uganda Coffee Development Authority pointed out that there is absolutely no problem with safety. After being tested by experts, the evaluation is not bad. International coffee traders all regard this kind of replica coffee as Robusta coffee. Experts point out that the role of genetically engineered coffee trees is becoming more and more important. Although some people are worried about the poor flavor of this kind of coffee, there is no definite evidence in this regard, and the future development is worth observing.
