As a landlocked country, the large coffee cultivation in Uganda is often interplanted, where coffee trees mingle with food crops and rubber trees, because of the unique natural environment, the coffee here spends an average of twice a year, which makes Uganda the largest producer of coffee honey in the world.

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.
