@TheMutambuze It is not better to build a career than raise children. And neither were we convinced so. We were empowered and given the opportunity to do both. The two are not mutually exclusive. Now, we’re trying to do both, and sometimes we don’t have the luxury to choose between the two.
@DuncanAbigaba It’s unreasonable to draw conclusions about the whole country basing on just your village. You’re the one disconnected from the reality in most parts of the country.
@DuncanAbigaba@DrAgnesApea The only reason milk and fish contribute more is because of their inherent value. Many more livelihoods depend on coffee compared to fish and milk combined! So why was UCDA established in the first place?
@T_E_F_L_O_N Simply put, UCDA is transforming the coffee sector; Uganda is currently neck to neck with Ethiopia as the leading exporter of coffee in Africa. And UCDA is delivering efficiently. Farmers are fairly happy, the country is happy with the export income. We don’t trust those others

Finally a REAL opportunity for us Ugandan coffee farmers. These guys have set up a processing unit using Danish technology to process ready to drink Ugandan coffee & export it straight to the shelves of European & North American markets. Their product has no preservatives & lasts all of 15 months on the shelf. No need 4 refrigeration. Most importantly they are paying a premium over & above the local going prices. What we have to do is be consistent with our product. A problem that dogs us in the market. Above all, this venture is an indictment of the Ntungamo thugs who have swindled the Ugandan taxpayer out of $30m & will NEVER get to do this. In fact this will take them out of business before they start. Fellow farmers, the prospects are good. Those thinking of joining, please come. The future is bright.
