Uganda coffee varieties producing area characteristics boutique coffee beans flavor estate introduction

There was an emirate called Kitala in present-day western Uganda before the 13th century AD. In the 13th and 14th century, the nomadic Bachwezi conquered the country. From the end of the 15th century to the beginning of the 16th century, the Luo people who originally lived in southern Sudan went south to replace the rule of the Bachwezi, established the kingdom of Buniolo and established the Babito dynasty in Buganda. These foreign rulers were soon assimilated by the local Bantu people who were engaged in agriculture and were more educated. In southwestern Uganda, the Xinda established the Kingdom of Ankolai. In northern Uganda, many separate small countries and clan tribes have been established. Around 1830, Prince Capoyo of the Kingdom of Bunioro established the Toro Kingdom east of Mount Ruwenzori. Since the 17th century, the kingdom of Buganda has grown stronger and expanded outward. By the middle of the 18th century, its power had surpassed that of the Kingdom of Buniolo, and after World War I, 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.

Ugandan coffee beans have a unique flavor of delicate taste, which is 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 their 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. Uganda's best coffee is mainly produced in the mountains of Elgon and Bugisu along the Kenyan border in the north and Ruwensori in the west, and is available for export in January or February of each year.

The equator crosses Uganda and the suitable climate makes it the main producer of robusta coffee beans in the world. 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 are no good roads to transport coffee to ports such as Mombasa in Kenya or Dar es Salaam in Tanzania.

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, the rise in coffee prices in recent years has encouraged farmers to return to their estates and reclaim once abandoned land to grow coffee. Uganda coffee industry seems to have great hope that Uganda coffee beans taste faint aroma and have a very unique flavor. Uganda coffee beans are one of the most suitable for making spaghetti coffee. Uganda coffee beans have strict screening criteria. 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 ℃.
