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 (Uganda), Arabica coffee beans account for only 15% of the country's total coffee production. Uganda's best coffee is mainly produced in the mountains of Elgon and Bugisu along the Kenyan border in the northeast and Ruwensori in the west.

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. Mainly exported to the European Union, of which Sweden, Italy and other countries are its largest coffee buyers, the Republic of Uganda, located in eastern Africa, is a cross-equatorial landlocked country. Uganda is bordered by Sudan to the north, Kenya to the east, Lake Victoria to the southwest, Tanzania and Rwanda to the south, and Congo to the west.

The territory is located between the east and west branches of the East African Rift Valley, tilting gently from west to middle and low and flat in the south. 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 "plateau water village" and "Pearl of East Africa". Lake Victoria is the second largest freshwater lake in the world and Africa, accounting for 43% of Uganda's territorial area. The White Nile (White Nile), which flows from Lake Victoria, flows through most of the country. Its unique scenery includes tropical forests and tea trees on the snow-covered slopes of Mount Ruwenzori Mountains, dry plants in Karamoja, rolling savannas in Acholi, Bunyoro, Tororo and Ankole, and fertile cotton fields in Teso. Tropical climate. Because of the high terrain, most areas are warm all the year round. The average annual rainfall is 1 000 mm. Agriculture is the main pillar of the country's economy. The population of agriculture and animal husbandry accounts for 90% of the country. Crops include plantains, cassava, millet, sorghum, corn and so on.

The official ranks are Oaganic (Organic), Bugisu AA, Bugisu A, Bugisu B, Bugisu PB, Wugar, Drugar and other unlisted grades. To find Ugandan coffee with good performance, you must first recognize the three grades of BugisuAA, An and PB, but because the country is inland and has many transportation problems, it often comes to raw beans with low moisture content and not emerald green appearance, but Ugandan coffee is not a type of coffee that emphasizes aroma, as long as the raw beans are not and turn 100 or yellowed, they can generally have a good flavor performance in the producing areas. It has a low ripe fruit aroma, such as the taste of red wine, and a thick mellow thickness, which is similar to some Kenyan beans with low tonality, but with a mild soil flavor, so it is quite different from other East African countries in flavor characteristics. on the contrary, it is a bit similar to Asia, Indonesia, Sulawesi?
