Description of flavor of Ugandan coffee beans introduction to the characteristics of producing areas of coffee beans with grinding degree

Most of Uganda is located in the Central African Plateau, with lakes, with an average elevation of 1000 mi 1200 meters. There are many lakes and plateaus in the mountains, which are known as "plateau water villages". The western branch of the East African Rift Valley runs through the western border, with many rivers and lakes at the bottom of the valley. Uganda has a great Victoria lake, coupled with the high mountains, which makes Uganda a mild climate suitable for growing coffee, although it spans both sides of the equator.

Uganda is the birthplace of Robusta in Africa, just as Ethiopia is the birthplace of Arabica coffee, which was first found in Uganda. So far, Uganda has a history of growing coffee for more than 100 years. The output ranks second in Africa, after Ethiopia. At the same time, Uganda is one of the few major countries in Africa dedicated to the production of organic coffee.

Uganda's best coffee is produced mainly in the mountains of Elgon and Bugisu along the Kenyan border in the north-east and Ruwensori in the west.

The cultivation of coffee in Uganda is all small-scale family operation. The livelihood of 25% of the population is closely related to coffee production. About 500000 farms grow coffee, but mainly Robster. Robusta accounts for 90% of coffee production, and the remaining 1 is Arabica coffee. Arabica and Robusta collect from October to February of the following year.

Ugandan coffee is mainly exported to the European Union, with Germany, Italy and other countries as the largest buyers of coffee.

Uganda's coffee production ranks first in Africa, accounting for more than 70% of its total exports. Uganda is also the hometown and main producing area of Robes specialty coffee. In the 1960s, Ugandan coffee production remained at 3.5 million bags a year. By the mid-1980s, coffee production had dropped to 2.5 million bags a year, mainly for political reasons. But now coffee production is on the rise again, currently about 3 million bags a year. It is mainly exported to the European Union, with Sweden, Italy and other countries as the largest coffee buyers.

Uganda exported 320000 bags (60 kg each) of coffee in August 2015, an increase of 19 per cent from 268000 bags in August last year. In the first 11 months of the 2014-2015 planting year, Uganda exported 3.2 million bags of coffee, worth US $381 million. Uganda is the largest coffee exporter in Africa, and coffee exports are its main source of foreign exchange earnings.
