Key Insights

Uganda continues to strengthen its position in the global coffee market through the improving quality of its Arabica coffees and the development of its export infrastructure. The trip enabled the IMCO team to evaluate the potential of new lots, gain first-hand insight into local production practices, and expand its network of professional relationships with producers and exporters.

"Uganda is one of Africa's fastest-growing coffee origins. Being present in producing regions allows us to see first-hand how quality, processing methods, and production capabilities are evolving, helping us build stronger long-term partnerships with producers."
