The coffee growing industry in Uganda is one of the pillar industries of its exports. Uganda is the birthplace of Robsta in Africa, just as Ethiopia is the origin of Arabica coffee, while Robster coffee was first discovered 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. In Uganda, where Arabica beans account for only 15 per cent of the country's total coffee production, Uganda's best coffee is produced mainly in the mountains of Elgon and Bugisu along the Kenyan border in the north-east and in the Ruwensori mountains in the west, accounting for more than 70 per cent of its exports. 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 Germany, Italy and other countries as the largest coffee buyers.

Africa is the hometown of the two major varieties of coffee, Arabica and Robusta, while Uganda, which is located in eastern Africa and enjoys the laudatory names of "plateau water hometown" and "Pearl of East Africa", is believed by many people to be the birthplace of Robusta.

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 a tropical African country, its fertile soil, suitable altitude and climatic conditions are suitable for the growth of high-quality coffee. As early as more than a decade ago, the leaders of China and Ukraine had the intention to enhance the trade cooperation and traditional friendship between the two countries through coffee trade. With the concern of the leaders of the two countries and the support of the Beijing Municipal Government, Beijing Beichen Industrial Group and the Ugandan Coffee Development Bureau formally signed a cooperation agreement on January 21 this year. The coffee launched by Chenao Company chooses the pattern of Crown Crane, a rare bird well known in Uganda, as a trademark to represent the natural and pure coffee products.
