Margarita Peak is 5109 meters above sea level, which is the highest peak in the country. There are many rivers and lakes and a large water area, so Uganda is known as a plateau water village and a pearl in East Africa.

The territory is located between the east and west branches of the Great Rift Valley in East Africa. It slopes gently from west to middle and is low and flat in the south. Margarita Peak is 5 109 meters above sea level, which is the highest peak in China. There are many rivers and lakes, and the water area is large, so Uganda has the name of "plateau water town" and "pearl of East Africa". Lake Victoria is the second largest freshwater lake in the world and the largest in Africa, covering 43 per cent of Uganda's territory. The White Nile, which flows from Lake Victoria, flows through most parts of the country. Its unique scenery includes tropical forests and tea trees on the snow-capped slopes of the Ruwenzori Mountains, arid plants of Karamoja, rolling savannas of Acholi, Bunyoro, Tororo and Ankole, and fertile cotton fields of Teso. Tropical climate. Because of the high terrain, most areas are warm all year round. The average annual rainfall is 1,000 mm. Agriculture is the main economic pillar of the country. Agriculture accounts for 90 per cent of the country's population. Crops have plantain, cassava, millet, sorghum, corn and so on.

Uganda is one of Africa's leading coffee producers, accounting for more than 70% of its total exports, while Uganda is also the home and major producer of Robbs specialty coffee. In the 1960s Uganda's coffee production remained at 3.5 million bags per year. By the mid-1980s, largely for political reasons, coffee production had fallen to 2.5 million bags a year. But coffee production is picking up again and is now about 3 million bags a year. It is mainly exported to the European Union, with Sweden, Italy and other countries as its largest coffee buyers.

In order to improve coffee quality and reduce costs, Uganda abolished the exclusive rights of the Coffee Marketing Board (CMB) in November 1990. Most of the work previously undertaken by the Coffee Marketing Committee has now been transferred to cooperative organizations. Privatized coffee generates two-thirds of the country's export revenue, so the government imposed a tax on coffee in the hope of raising much-needed revenue. This has led to a 20% drop in coffee exports and an increase in coffee smuggling.

As in Tanzania, where rising coffee prices in recent years have encouraged farmers to return to plantations and reclaim once-abandoned land for coffee, Uganda's coffee industry looks promising.

Mbale in Mount Elgon on the east and other production areas near the border with the Democratic Republic of the Congo on the west take Wugar as the export name. Officially listed grades are Oaganic(organic), Bugisu AA, Bugisu A, Bugisu B, Bugisu PB, Wugar, Drugar and others not listed. To find Ugandan coffee with excellent performance, we must first identify Bugisu AA, A and PB grades. However, due to the country's inland location and many transportation problems, we often find green beans with low moisture content and not green appearance. However, Ugandan coffee is not a coffee type that emphasizes rising aroma. As long as the green beans are not turned hundred or yellow, they can generally have good flavor performance in the producing area. They have a low ripe fruit aroma, such as red wine taste, and a thick body. It is similar to some low-toned Kenyan beans, but also has a mild earthy taste, so it is quite different from other East African countries in flavor characteristics, but it is somewhat similar to Asian Indonesian Sulawesi Tonaga coffee and Java country manor coffee. Baking degrees between City+ and Full City+ are all better.
