Front Street-Uganda Sun Coffee Introduction

Coffee is Uganda's largest crop, earning the most foreign currency, with 25% of the country's population engaged in the coffee industry, most of which is farm-grown (there are about 500,000 coffee farms throughout Uganda). In Uganda, the vast majority of coffee beans are Robusta and only 6 -15% Arabica.

Uganda's coffee is divided into two types: Robusta coffee and Arabica coffee. Robusta coffee is grown in the low altitude areas of central, eastern, western and southeast Uganda, with an altitude of up to 1200 meters. Arabica coffee is grown in the highlands of the slopes of Mount Elgon in the east and Mt. Rwenzori and Mt. Muhabura (elevation 1500-2300 m).

This sun-cured Ugandan is grown on the northern slopes of the Elgon Mountains by retail coffee farmers. The steep cliffs of Mount Elgon divide Kenya and Uganda almost evenly. The microclimate here provides excellent conditions for coffee growth and for the Sipi Falls coffee processing plant. Sipi Falls is a local central washing plant capable of processing freshly picked coffee berries and further drying them, providing additional convenience and conditions for local coffee farmers.

Coffee farmers in this area are mostly retail, with home-style coffee processing habits because they feel it saves them money. Kawacom, the exporter and owner of the Sipi Falls processing plant, has long tried to educate local farmers about how coffee processing plants can help them improve the quality of coffee processing and save time, which in turn can lead to higher incomes, encouraging local farmers to send their harvested coffee to the central processing plant for more professional washing, fermentation and drying. They have also set up experimental breeding centres to develop higher-quality coffee varieties and provide agricultural support and assistance to local farmers, many of whom are mainly women.

This microbatch is one of the few coffee processed in the sun at the plant. After the coffee is picked, it is directly dried in the sun. Because the pulp is retained, the aroma of coffee fruit is retained to the maximum extent. Prior to solarization, immature coffee cherries were screened only by fluting in a sink. The coffee is then placed on a drying rack for sun treatment. The drying rack allows air to circulate effectively, and the worker needs to turn the coffee fruit repeatedly to ensure that all coffee fruits are evenly dried.
