This project helped western Uganda upgrade its coffee value chain with a focus on delivering increased volumes of sustainably produced, quality Arabica coffee to premium export markets and including smallholder farmers in the value chain.
Farm Africa worked with the Ugandan coffee processor and exporter, UGACOF, to reduce losses during production, harvest and post-harvest handling; expand marketing opportunities for smallholder farmers and help them diversify into higher value export markets.
The project helped farmers deliver a consistent supply of quality coffee cherries to UGACOF who marketed the produce to European Union, and African, Caribbean and Pacific roasters.
UGACOF and Farm Africa drew on their past experience with smallholder farmers in the Rwenzori and Kigezi sub-regions to design this project.
The project was co-funded by the European Union and UGACOF, a leading coffee processor and exporter in Uganda.
