An introduction to the characteristics of fine coffee beans in the manor area

After the first World War, the long-standing dissatisfaction of the Ugandan people with colonial rule finally broke out. A national general strike and rural riots broke out in 1918. In 1919 Buganda launched a democratic movement under the leadership of the Bataka Party and the African Farmers' Union of Uganda. In 1921, Uganda's first national political party, the Ugandan National Congress Party, was established, which put forward the requirements of universal suffrage, the establishment of an autonomous government and the control of the economy by Africans. From 1921 to 1928, the people of Uganda fought for the release of King Muteza II of Buganda, who was exiled in England.

In the late 1920s, Britain carried out constitutional reform with the goal of autonomy in Uganda. At the end of 1931, three major political parties were formed in Uganda: the Ugandan people's Congress Party, the Democratic Party and the Kabakayeka Party. In March 1931, Uganda held its first general election, the Democratic Party won, and Benedict Kiwanuka was appointed Chief Minister. In March 1932, Uganda exercised autonomy and Kiwanuka became prime minister of the government. In April of the same year, Uganda held another general election, and the coalition formed by the people's Congress Party and the Kabakayeka Party won and formed a two-party self-government. According to the agreement of the Ugandan Constituent Assembly held in London from June to July 1932, Uganda declared its independence on October 9, 1932 and remained in the Commonwealth.

After independence

According to the 1942 Constitution, Uganda adopted a federal system after its independence, and the kingdoms of Buganda, Bunioro, Toro and Ancole, as well as the Busoga Special District, were all members of the Federation. The people's Congress Party and the Kabakayeka Party form a coalition government, with Milton Obote, chairman of the people's Congress Party, as prime minister, and King Mutsa II of Buganda as president. In 1964, the two-party alliance broke down, the Great Party of the people was in power with one party, and the contradiction between the central government and the Kingdom of Buganda intensified day by day. In May 1966, the central government captured the Buganda Palace, and Mutsa II fled to England. In 1967, Uganda adopted a new constitution, abolishing feudal kingdoms and kings and establishing the Republic of Uganda. Obote successively issued the civilian Charter (1969) and the Nakiwubo Communique (1970), condemning feudalism and emphasizing one nation and one government. On January 25, 1971, Army Commander Idi Amin launched a coup to overthrow the government of Obote. Obote went into exile in Tanzania

In Uganda, the value of coffee is much more than a drink, it is an indispensable part of interpersonal communication. The coffee beans wrapped in banana leaves are roasted over the fire to make a food called "Mpokoto", which is very much like Chinese zongzi. David took out some coffee beans for me to chew and taste together. David explained that chewing coffee beans is a symbol of the relationship between people, the relationship-building ceremony. Business partnerships often begin with the aroma of coffee in order to reverse the trade gap, Chen ao tried to introduce Ugandan coffee to China. "when we first started the project, everyone thought we were crazy. Who will sell coffee to China? " So said Soloman Rutiga, the first consul general of Uganda in Guangzhou.

But it turns out they have a longer-term vision. Today, more than a decade later, China has become one of the countries with the fastest coffee consumption with an annual growth rate of 15% and 20%. Exquisite cafes can be found in second-and third-tier cities, not to mention Guangzhou. The entire coffee producing kingdom is trying to "please" the Chinese market. Following the example of Coca-Cola's first foreign-funded factory in Shenzhen in the last century, Starbucks began a partnership with Yunnan Aiyi Group last year to ship mellow coffee beans to China and fine Chinese food to Uganda. What a great cultural exchange!

Recently, I have made two friends, both of whom are the owners of Beijing Chenao Coffee Co., Ltd. The coffee company, founded in 2002, is the first commercial cooperation between Uganda and China. The company's new promotion center is located in the Pearl River New City, with beautiful scenery of Haixinsha. David Kiwanuka told me that in 2000, the trade gap between the two countries was very wide. As an agricultural country, Uganda imports almost all its agricultural equipment from China.

Not only agricultural equipment, but also Chinese textiles have occupied the Ugandan market. In Kampala, the capital of Uganda, more and more Chinese businessmen are gradually establishing the country's first Chinatown in their business contacts. With great interest, we also compare this with the gathering places of African businessmen in Guangzhou. Ugandan coffee beans have a unique flavor of delicate flavor, which is very suitable for making Italian and other flavors of coffee. more importantly, Ugandan coffee beans are strictly screened in accordance with the standards of the international market to ensure their high quality and pollution-free characteristics.

Africa is the hometown of the two major varieties of coffee, Arabica and Robusta, while Uganda, which is located in eastern Africa and enjoys the laudatory names of "plateau water hometown" and "Pearl of East Africa", is believed by many people to be the birthplace of Robusta.
