The people of all parts of Uganda resisted the British aggression tenaciously. In 1893, Britain sent troops to occupy the Kingdom of Bunioro, and King Kabarega led some of the people to wage guerrilla warfare for six years. In 1897, King Mwaanga of Buganda raised his army against Britain and later joined Kabarega in the Rango region. In April 1899, the two kings were captured and the uprising failed. In order to facilitate its rule, Britain preserved the feudal kingdoms such as Buganda, Bunioro, Toro, Ancole and their monarchs, of which Buganda reserved more rights. But the administrative power is in the hands of British colonial officials headed by the Governor. It was not until after the second World War that individual Africans were allowed to participate in the executive and legislative bodies of the colonial authorities. Economically, Britain has turned Uganda into a supplier of cotton, coffee and other agricultural products, trying to prevent Africans from developing their own business and processing industries.

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, and the Ugandan coffee industry looks promising.

Java coffee sold to Europe is a very special kind of coffee. At that time, it was shipped to Europe and the United States by sailboat, and the distance was long and the speed was slow, so it took a lot of time to transport. In this case, the coffee seems to have undergone a special fermentation and has a very unique taste.

Later, when the ship replaced the sailboat, due to the shortened delivery time, people drank relatively fresh coffee beans. But people who are used to drinking Chen beans are not used to the fresh taste, so they desperately pursue old Java coffee, so that the Indonesian government and some businessmen deliberately store fresh beans in warehouses for one or two years and then sell them to consumers. In fact, compared with fresh beans, the acidity of aged Java beans is close to zero, but the flavor is more intense. Because of the long storage time, the increase in cost and the limited quantity, Java has always been a hot item in the coffee market. In the 1880s, 0 merchants deliberately tampered with some fresh Guatemalan or Venezuelan beans to imitate aged Java for high prices. It is intolerable that 0 merchants dye coffee beans to make them look more like old Java, but there is no doubt that the dyed chemicals are certainly toxic.

Uganda is the country of origin of coffee grown in Robusta, but commercial cultivation of Arabica species here did not begin until early 1900. Today, there are still a large number of wild robusta coffee trees in Uganda, which is rare in cities in the world. As a landlocked country, the large coffee cultivation in Uganda is often interplanted, where coffee trees are mingled 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.
