For many, Uganda may not be the first country to think of high-quality Arabica coffee: it is traditionally considered to be a producer of robusta coffee. In many parts of the country, however, the challenge is more about infrastructure, history and knowledge than the environment. The Ruwenzori Mountains in the west of the country (bordering the Democratic Republic of the Congo) are only one of the many areas in the country best suited for producing high-quality specialty coffee.

Winston? Sir Sir Winston Churchill initially described Uganda as "the pearl of Africa" and praised its "colorful forms and colors, splendid life and great scale". Thanks to the dual-mode rainfall season and high altitude, the country has a pleasant climate and verdant vegetation all the year round. The eastern and western mountains are home to farmers in Arabica, Uganda; Robusta comes from the central plateau.

Rwenzoris is called "Moon Mountain". They extend 120 kilometres along the border between western Uganda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Snow-covered peaks, more than 5000 meters above sea level, support glaciers, which are the starting point from which many rivers flow down the slopes (including a source of the Nile). The slopes of this region are an area where the Government of Uganda is promoting coffee production as a key driver of rural development.

This area is home to the Bakonzo tribe, which has been farming in the foothills of Rwenzori for as long as I can remember. High altitude, fertile soil and ample rainfall provide perfect conditions for Arabica coffee to grow. Coffee provides a steady income for farmers in Bakonzo, allowing them to support their families and develop their own homes. Coffee is grown under banana trees, while mixed farms also produce cassava, corn, beans and peanuts for local consumption and income.

Bukangzo County is divided into many sub-counties, such as Kisinga, Gyeonggi Province, Kiarumba, Monkunyu, Mahango, Niacatunqi and Isango. There are many small towns in the lowlands in this area, and there is a good road network between them. These towns provide ideal locations for coffee processing and are home to many farmers' groups and primary processors, which is in Kisinga, where Kyagalanyi's first coffee station in the region is located. Here, Kyagalanyi focuses on high-quality specialty natural Arabica coffee beans.

Most farmers own about 1 hectare of land, and all the work on the farm is done by hand, usually by immediate family members. People usually work together in groups, processing and selling their coffee on a community-based and sometimes extended family basis, a method known as "sharing agriculture". This will help them improve their processing, better control quality and improve their marketing ability.
