This call was made by Mbale District Commercial
Officer Nabutuwa Janet at the Lower Central Zone meeting organized by Bugisu
Cooperative Union (BCU).
According to Nabutuwa, for farmers to get quality
coffee, it is important to take care of the crop right from the garden.
Nabutuwa says that farmers need to carry out proper pruning and effectively use
fertilizers and replace old coffee plants. She has asked coffee farmers to
always pick ripe berries for processing and wash and dry the coffee to ensure
quality coffee is supplied to Bugisu Cooperative Union (BCU)
In a related development, Bugisu Cooperative Union
(BCU) board chairperson Nathan Nandala Mafabi says the union will employ 68
secretary managers to help in the collection of coffee from farmers. Nandala
while addressing coffee farmers from the Lower Central Zone explained that the
secretary managers will be based at growers’ societies so that farmers don’t
take coffee to their competitors.
