New Executive Director at the Federation

Early last year, one of our own Ms. Betty Namwagala was appointed as marketing coordinator for the Uganda Coffee Industry in China on behalf of UCDA and we wish her all the best. Betty was replaced by Mr. George Byamukama as the new executive director of UCF. International Coffee Day as we celebrate women in Coffee. Charles Malik said, “The fastest way to change society is to mobilize the women of the world”. This year’s theme focused on the women because they make a huge contribution in coffee production giving 60-80% of the labour. However, all this work is marginalized due to the gender inequalities that restrict their access to land, finances and exclusion from developmental discussions and decisions making. This year, Uganda Coffee Federation in conjunction with the Uganda Coffee Development Authority and International Women in Coffee Alliance organized the 4th international coffee day on 4th under the theme; “Celebrating Women In Coffee”. At the event, a number of stakeholders and development partners were present to show their support in recognizing the role played by the women and pledged to support them financially, UCF morally and create an enabling environment for the women to do even much better for thriving livelihoods in the sector. Besides this, the Government through President’s MAAIF and UCDA on top of what is already being done made pledges for continued support to households for increased production and productivity.

UGANDA COFFEE FEDERATION PROMOTING YOUTH DEVELOPMENT IN THE COFFEE INDUSTRY THROUGH COOPERATIVES, VALUE ADDITION AND INNOVATIONS. 35 18 The coffee year book 2018/19 Word from IWCA Uganda Chapter president Hon. Victoria Sekitoleko he theme “Women in Coffee” identifies well with the mission of the International Women in Coffee Alliance Uganda chapter, and provides an excellent opportunity to augment the message of women participation and full involvement in the coffee value chain, from farm to cup. TWhile the women of Uganda are, yet to realize their full potential in, agribusiness generally the coffee sub-sector offers every good entry in the sector. Gender stereotypes, unfavorable norms and archaic cultural and traditional gender expectations will soon be history as women join the nontraditional levels of the coffee value chain such as becoming coffee roasters exporters, barristers and consumers.

Remembering that women generally pay extra attention to detail and since they do majority of the work in coffee production, such as seedlings selection, picking the red cherries, green coffee sorting, packaging, roasting, and promoting consumption by making it very well and serving it professionally while making money at a every point, I can confidently say that both the quality and consumption of coffee is set to improve.

The above is actually a result of sustained training, information and knowledge dissemination which if sustained would mean they have the same access to the same resources as men.

This would lead to women producing 20 -30 percent more food and their families would enjoy better health, nutrition and education. Let us therefore empower women for shared prosperity at all levels of the value chain and we shall realize improved productivity and production.

At seedling production, for example, let us promote both women and men to run coffee nurseries and produce quality seedlings that will ensure a good quality crop leading to a good cup of coffee.

Women should also be supported to become coffee traders, processors, barristers, proprietors of coffee roasters and cafes as well as promote and host coffee tourism.

Within the Uganda national agenda to produce 20 million bags by 2025 it should be all “hands on deck”. Men and women!

Let’s join hands to empower the women the in the in Coffee coffee value chain. IWCA Uganda Chapter secretariat

omen around the world are the backbone of global agricultural production, W making up almost half of the worldwide agricultural workforce. In some countries, that number goes as high as 70%. Women play a vital role in getting food to our table, and yet because of deep gender inequalities, many of those women are not able to realize their full potential, both as workers and as community members. In Uganda 42% of farming, households grow coffee, which makes 21% of the general population; women and children are the primary source of labour on household farms. In the coffee sector, the participation of women at the earlier nodes of the value chain is intense but reduces at the latter stages. Women are involved in planting, weeding, harvesting and processing to some extent. The men take over at the most critical stages requiring key decision making and marketing. However, even where they participate, they have challenges in aspects like input application and generally post -harvest handling due to knowledge gaps. Secondly, land ownership dynamics or the size of land availed to women for coffee production dictates the level of participation. Majority of women in coffee are involved in extensive coffee production because of limited land or lack of ownership. As a patriarchal society, land belongs to the man/men in the family. From earning little (to sometimes no income) to lack of representation in leadership roles to access and control of land, women in agriculture face many obstacles. Tackling those obstacles provides an opportunity for change.

International Women’s Coffee Alliance [IWCA] Uganda Chapter which is part of a global network of women in coffee that advocates for the reduction of barriers for women in coffee by lobbying and advocating for resources while creating a forum in which to connect with other women throughout the coffee chain from farm to cup.

UNLOCKING UGANDA’S COFFEE TOURISM POTENTIAL Coffee and tourism are priority sectors for Uganda. Coffee sector generates approximately 18 – 20% of the country’s foreign exchange over the past 20 years while contributing to the incomes of millions of rural households. On the other hand, tourism is the highest foreign exchange earner. Therefore combining these two priority sub-sectors has a positive impact on the Ugandan economy which grew at 5.5% last Financial Year, 2017/2018.

Coffee Tourism involves linking coffee farmers to Prime Minister Hon. Ruhakana Rugunda is optimistic consumers under a farm-to-cup approach, with that the synergy between the tourism and coffee sub- consumers touring farms and sharing their experience sectors is instrumental to getting Uganda’ economy to with the farmers. The feedback from tourists helps middle-income status. He noted that the exploration farmers to adopt good farming practices, which in turn of the linkage between coffee and tourism, with each leads to increased production of high quality coffee. sector reinforcing the other, is an important innovation.

The First Annual Coffee Tourism Symposium was held Keynote speaker and renowned coffee-tourism expert, on 7th December, 2018 at Golden Tulip Hotel, Kampala, Mr. Glenn Jampol, noted that Uganda’s coffee has a which was organized by Uganda Coffee Development good reputation among the global coffee connoisseurs Authority in collaboration with Uganda Tourism Board for being “great and well-balanced”. and Coffee Tourism Uganda. It brought together key stakeholders in the coffee and tourism sub-sectors to deliberate on how the gains and potential in both sub- sectors can be enhanced.

“Coffee has the potential to become a commodity that changes communities through linking it to tourism. However there is no coffee tourism without sustainability,” said Mr. Glenn, who is also a president and co-owner of Finca Rosa Blanca Coffee Plantation Resort and a celebrated international sustainable tourism professional.

Adding, “Tourism is never about the price tourists pay but about the value. It is not about more tourism but better tourism. In Costa Rica we get about 3 million tourists per year who pay over $ 1,100 each. People will gladly pay a lot more across the board for unforgettable experiences of quality” Mrs. Joan Kantu Else, CEO, Coffee Tourism Uganda In addition, Ms. Judy Kepher – Gona, a travel and tourism expert from Kenya, another guest speaker emphasized Mr. Stephen Asiimwe, CEO, Uganda Tourism Board, the need for sustainable tourism that involves host emphasized Uganda’s globally recognized biodiversity communities. uniqueness, adding that bringing coffee consumers to the farms, as the coffee tourism campaign espouses, will also encourage incremental earnings for farmers and those in the hospitality and tourism industries.

Ms. Judy Kepher-Gona, a travel and tourism expert from Kenya Mr. Stephen Asiimwe, CEO, Uganda Tourism Board

The tourism industry currently contributes 10% to Uganda’s GDP, making it the leading foreign exchange earner. This translates to more than shs. 5.1 trillion (1.4 billion) annually, and it is projected to earn about shs. 10 trillion (2.7 billion) by 2020.

On the other hand, the government of Uganda, through the Coffee roadmap, aims to accelerate coffee exports from current 4.6 million (60kg) to 20 million (60kg) bags by 2025.

“Great places to visit must and foremost be great places for host communities to live in. If you exclude the people, you are merely selling things and this is never attractive to travelers. There is need to look into experience – based tourism, which is sustainable and responds to people’s needs and the planet. She noted that 87% of the respondents on booking.com preferred sustainable tourism, which emphasized eco-friendly, utilized resources efficiently, authentic, ethical and social. Dr. Emmanuel Iyamulemye, MD – UCDA Mrs. Joan Kantu Else, CEO, Coffee Tourism Uganda emphasized that “ we need the youth in the coffee growing communities to partner with us, as tours guides, “Uganda Coffee Development Authority is determined to since they know the local story better.” move Uganda’s position from just the top African producer to a global exporter of premium coffee. We believe that partnering with the tourism fraternity will enable us to achieve the target soon,” says Dr. Emmanuel Iyamulemye, MD – UCDA. 42 The coffee year book 2018/19

Production is a major aspect that will however play the leading role in this initiative. And as such, land, being the core factor of production must be given due attention. Land use and management practices at the end of the day will determine the level of output for the total land under coffee cultivation.

In order to increase production of coffee, there is a clear need of targeting idle land for utilization.

The Youth: Over the years, there has been an observation that there is continuous decrease of the youth involvement in the coffee value chain and general agriculture production in Uganda. Youth have been increasingly migrating from rural areas to urban areas to look for work to earn them quick money, and white collar jobs thus leaving the old person (parents) in the villages to do the coffee growing. This leaves the future of the industry in a compromising state.

At the end of 52 The coffee year book 2018/19 THE 2018 COFFEE PRICE CRISIS eptember 20, 2018, marked an important day in the world of coffee, when the New York C price for washed Arabica coffee fell below 100 cents per pound, reaching its lowest level Sin 12 years. The rally to the bottom started on the Nov.8, 2016, when the “C” price was around 180 cents per pound. Since that time, we saw 22 months of price drops. We can’t predict the market, but we are all wondering what will happen next? Why the coffee price fall so low? There was a bumper crop in Brazil of more than 60 million bags; Vietnam ended up with more than 10 million bags; and global output in the 2018/2019 season was approximately over 170 million bags, which is 10 million more than consumption. However, these fluctuations were on the market’s radar for a long time, as the next harvest in Brazil will be lower, possibly by 10 to 15 percent, and some 5 million bags may be held back for the next harvest. In short, supply and demand over these next two seasons is expected to be more or less in balance. The price collapse was a result of the short term, where it is the funds that determine the price. In 2017, more than 9.4 million coffee contracts were The traded on the New York futures market alone – im- equivalent to 2.7 billion bags of coffee, 16 to 17 times pact of as much as global annual output.

Unfortunately, it’s unlikely that the market will react since the end of the ICO price regulation in 1989, all attempts to stop price crises on a global scale found little to no success. Specialty coffee roasters may claim that they pay a good price, far above the New York C market, but that is just a small volume. Not all coffee is grown at the hop of high mountains and most washed Arabic is hold traction, and the market stays at crisis levels, sold against the C with potential to drop even further.
