A family in Budadiri village in Africa picks coffee beans

One thing I am very curious about is that coffee comes from Africa, but in many parts of Africa, especially in small towns and villages, few people drink coffee.

This time I visited the hometown of Uganda, which is rich in coffee, and this question can basically be answered.

In the village of Budadiri in the small town of Mombali, near the Kenyan border in Uganda, there are many coffee farms. The so-called farms are just people who live a clear life. Earlier, they have surrounded a large area of idle land and planted a large number of coffee trees. Of course, there are banana trees, guava trees, pineapple trees, pineapple trees, papaya trees, avocado trees and so on. The reason why these trees can grow with coffee trees is that the water they need can be shared equally, unlike the relative greed of root crops such as cassava, taro and corn for soil and water. Therefore, in the coffee garden, although there is no strong flavor of coffee and can not feel the sweetness of tropical fruits, these land with different colors of fruit trees live in harmony, adding a lot of beautiful and relaxed feeling to people.

These are the fresh coffee beans just picked by the farmer JAJA KATE's daughter.

In Budadiri village, coffee farmer Jaja Kate owns hundreds of thousands of coffee trees. September to December is the coffee harvest season. I follow him to pick red coffee beans on the coffee farm. At first glance, these ripe coffee beans look like small cherries, the color is very attractive. Ask these coffee pickers again, either his daughter or his son.
