A delegation of Kenyan government officials, researchers, and members of coffee and dairy cooperative unions is in Uganda on a benchmarking visit to learn more on how Uganda has managed to increase its coffee production over the years and surpassed Kenya whose coffee production has declined over the years, impacting small holder farmers and the overall value chain.
Uganda produces significantly more coffee annually compared to Kenya. Uganda’s annual coffee production is around 300,000 metric tons, while Kenya produces approximately 50,000 metric tons annually.
The Kenyan delegation headed by Mr. David Obonyo, the Commissioner for Cooperative Development in the Ministry of Cooperatives and MSME Development, kicked off their benchmarking visit with a meeting with the Minister of State for Cooperatives Hon. Frederick Ngobi Gume, at the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Cooperatives at Farmers House in Kampala.
