A brief introduction to the Market Price of High-quality and pollution-free Ugandan Fine Coffee Bean varieties

Uganda is the country of origin of Robusta coffee, but commercial cultivation of Arabica did not begin here until the early 1900s. Today Uganda still has a large number of wild Robusta coffee trees, which are rare in cities around the world. As a landlocked country, Uganda's large coffee cultivation is often interplanted, where coffee trees are mixed with food crops and rubber trees. Because of the unique natural environment, coffee flowers here on average twice a year, making Uganda the world's largest producer of coffee honey.

Later, when ships replaced sailboats, people drank fresher coffee beans because of shorter delivery times. But people accustomed to old beans are not used to this 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 to two years before selling them to consumers. In fact, the acidity of aged Java beans is reduced to nearly zero compared to fresh beans, while the aroma is more intense. Because of the long storage time, the cost increases a lot, and the quantity is limited, so aged Java has always been a hot commodity in the coffee market. In the 1880s, some traders deliberately tampered with fresh Guatemala or Venezuela beans to copy old Java and sell them at high prices. What is intolerable is that 0 traders dye coffee beans in a way that makes them look more like aged java, but there is no doubt that the dyeing chemicals are poisonous.

Today Uganda still has a large number of wild Robusta coffee trees, which are rare in cities around the world. Landlocked Uganda's large coffee plantations tend to be interplanted, where coffee trees interact with food crops and rubber trees because of the natural environment. Coffee here flowers twice a year on average, making Uganda the world's largest producer of coffee honey.

Uganda is mostly located in the Central African Plateau, many lakes, an average altitude of 1000--1200 meters, many mountain lakes plateau, known as "plateau water town." The western branch of the Great Rift Valley runs through the western border, and there are many rivers and lakes at the bottom of the valley. Uganda has a Victoria Lake, coupled with many mountains in the territory, making Uganda, although across the equator, but mild climate, suitable for coffee cultivation.

Uganda is the birthplace of Africa's Robusta, just as Ethiopia is the birthplace of Arabica coffee, Robusta coffee was first discovered in Uganda. Uganda has been growing coffee for over 100 years. It is the second largest producer in Africa after Ethiopia. Uganda is also one of the few major African countries committed to organic coffee production.

Uganda's best coffee is mainly grown in the Elgon and Bugisu mountains along the Kenyan border in the northeast and in the Ruwensori mountains in the west.

Coffee cultivation in Uganda is entirely family-based and small-scale. The livelihoods of 25 per cent of the population are linked to coffee production. There are about 500000 farms growing coffee, but mainly producing roberts. Robusta accounts for 90% of coffee production, with the rest becoming Arabica coffee. Arabica and Robusta are harvested from October to February.

Uganda exports coffee mainly to the European Union, with Germany, Italy and other countries as its largest coffee buyers.
