Workshop on export development and coffee quality

November 30, 2011

Workshops on Export Development and Coffee Quality took place early November in five coffee growing districts around Uganda: Mukono, Kapchorwa, Masaka, Bushenyi and Nebbi - three of them more than 300 km from the capital Kampala. A total of 150 people from farm associations associated with ITC's project partner NUCAFE have been trained in a range of export related aspects. Particular focus was given to quality issues wherefore basic training in so-called coffee cupping (i.e. tasting or liquoring) is part of the workshops.
