Uganda Fine Robusta Growing Region (Mt. Elgon / Rwenzori / Lake Victoria)

Operated by Volcafé (ED&F Man Holdings)UG · Eastern / Western Ugandafarm

Uganda grows Robusta at unusually high elevations (900-1,500m) — the birthplace of wild Coffea canephora in the forests around Lake Victoria. Ugandan 'fine Robusta' (washed processing at elevation from Mt. Elgon and Rwenzori regions) has cup characteristics approaching washed Arabica — green tea notes, brightness, lower bitterness than lowland Robusta — and is attracting specialty coffee roasters for single-origin Robusta offerings. Uganda Coffee Development Authority (UCDA) certified exports ~6-7 million 60-kg bags/year (~6% of global Robusta). Uganda Coffee Development Authority: https://ugandacoffee.go.ug/
