Marketing 🇺🇬Coffee in China: Today, the UCDA team engaged in constructive discussions with Jointek Food Supply Chain, a top distributor in China with a warehouse strategically located near the 5th largest port in the world - Guangzhou Nansha Port. @Nsababera_juju@PRC_Amb_Uganda
The UCDA team has strengthened ties with key stakeholders to elevate 🇺🇬’s coffee presence in China. Ugandan☕️ features prominently at the Jinda Coffee & Beverages Center, a major coffee hub. There is a promising export market for Uganda coffee in China which we can tap into.
I agree with you Hon. That is why we are still advising you against merging @CoffeeUganda. Coffee is a priority crop for Uganda that requires special attention like other jurisdictions do if we are to compete in the market.
PSFU has signed a #MOU between @BugandaOfficial and the Kampala Domestic Stores (KDS) which-a lead firm under @LFS_PSFU. #PSFU is committed to supporting #KDS to create 3500 decent jobs for young people in the coffee Value chain
For the 4th year we top the coffee competition again. By consistently winning the national competitions we demonstrate that we can replicate the same quality year in year out! @UCF_UG@CoffeeUganda@africancoffees@IACOSG@SpecialtyCoffee
We are happy to have emerged winners of the 3rd Edition of "Best of the Pearl" Arabica Coffee in Uganda under the Natural Category.
