The event will be hosted simultaneously in Kampala and London with an aim of bringing quality Ugandan coffee to an international market but above all increase Uganda’s coffee exports to UK.

Speaking at the launch of the competition, Dr. Emmanuel Iyamulemye, the Managing Director for UCDA, said this is in line with the national Coffee roadmap that seeks to brand Uganda’s coffee, locally and internationally, and to increase structured demand.

“The interventions under the Coffee Roadmap are to ensure that Uganda is internationally recognized as a reliable, responsible and quality supplier of mainstream and specialty coffees,” Dr. Iyamulemye said.

“The competition is a good vehicle to achieve this as it will create visibility for Uganda’s specialty Arabica coffee among important figures in the UK coffee sector including producers, buyers, trade associations, and influencers.”

He applauded the British High Commission in Kampala for the support.

“We look forward to seeing trade deals come out of this competition and to seeing Uganda coffee on supermarket shelves in the UK,” he added.

The British High Commissioner to Uganda, Kate Airey said “We will be inviting some of the most influential figures in the UK specialty coffee market to try these fantastic beans whilst telling the story of where they come from and the hardworking Ugandan farmers putting their heart and soul into bringing the best quality coffee to the British public”.

The winners of the competition will have the opportunity to work with a company to develop their brand for the export market. Their brand will be sold at a specialty coffee retailer in the United Kingdom.
