Introduction to the characteristics of Ugandan Coffee

In order to improve the quality and reduce the cost of coffee, Uganda cancelled the exclusive management right of the Coffee Management Committee (Coffee Marketing Board, referred to as CMB) in November 1990. Most of the work originally undertaken by the Coffee Management Committee has now been handed over to the cooperative organization. Privatized coffee accounts for 2% of the country's export revenue, so the government imposes a tax on coffee shops, hoping to increase much-needed revenue. But instead, coffee exports fell by 20%, and coffee smuggling became more and more serious.

Like Tanzania, rising coffee prices in recent years have encouraged farmers to return to their estates and reclaim once-abandoned land to grow coffee, and the Ugandan coffee industry looks promising that the equator crosses Uganda, making it the world's main producer of robusta beans. In the 1960s, Ugandan coffee production remained at 3.5 million bags a year. By the mid-1980s, coffee production had dropped to 250 bags a year, mainly for political reasons. But now coffee production is on the rise again, currently about 3 million bags a year. One of the main problems facing the coffee industry is that there is no good road to transport coffee to ports such as Mombasa in Kenya or Dar es Salaam in Tanzania. Ugandan coffee beans have a delicate flavor and are very suitable for making Italian and other flavors of coffee. More importantly, Ugandan coffee beans are strictly screened according to the standards of the international market. To ensure its high quality and pollution-free characteristics.

In Uganda (Uganda), Arabica coffee beans account for only 10 per cent of the country's total coffee production, but it is enough to attract attention. The best coffee in Uganda is mainly produced in the mountains of Elgon and Bugisu along the Kenyan border in the north and Ruwensori in the west. Its coffee can be exported to Uganda in January or February every year with a delicate aroma and a unique flavor, so it is one of the most suitable varieties for making espresso. Ugandan coffee beans have strict screening criteria, and every step is strictly screened in accordance with the standards of the international market, in order to ensure the high quality of coffee beans without pollution.

Uganda is one of the few countries in the world that can grow both Arabica and Robusta, with an environment and climate suitable for coffee growth. Uganda is located between 90-2000 meters above sea level, with an annual temperature of 15 ℃-28 ℃.
