Kabushenga’s Thoughts Doing Fulfilling Things Today, I took a group of people to my coffee farm. It was eclectic mix of those who want to follow in the footsteps of my farming journey and others who simply wanted a weekend out on a farm. I had stopped doing this six years ago. Then I gave a talk on coffee to a Business Fireside Chat at the Bight of Benin Restaurant in Kampala last February. By the end of it, there was a push for me to do this again. I agreed. And so it happened. What we do on these tours is to explain the complexities of farming coffee. I always want to make sure that by the end of it all, there is no illusion about the business of growing coffee. Part of the problem is the positive financial performance of the coffee sector . The perception now is that there is a lot of assured quick and big money to be made. This is false. And when I respond to the curious, I make a point to disabuse them of this misconception. The other way I do this is by giving my visitors a real experience of some the work we do on the fair. So they understand what it actually takes to grow coffee and take it to market. On this occasion I took them through the tedium of picking ripe coffee cherries. After some walking over the whole morning, they only managed a harvest of 6 kgs. They were tired. My point was made. The work of growing coffee to the point where it can be sold, is tough. Eleven years ago this week, I planted the first coffee seedling at @RugyeyoFarmLtd. Over the years I have understood that while coffee farming is an exacting undertaking, it is the one segment of the value chain where most Ugandans can participate for financial return. It is the only opportunity open to us as local Ugandans to generate and capture value. The other segments have prohibitively high financial barriers to entry. Even where public investment is made like Tanzania did in secondary processing of ready to drink coffee, it has only benefitted factory owners or state employees who run the government outfit. Farmer incomes remain unchanged, in fact they bring their coffee green beans for sale in the lucrative market of Uganda. In Uganda, the farmer pockets 85% of the international market price. The way to improve farmer turnover is public investment in farmer ability to get hogs yields and improve quality. This higher turnover will translate into taxable income for the Treasury. Margins can be better if some of the costs like fertilizer and water can be subsidized. This will pay for itself through ability to employ more people. You would think these things would be obvious. But there is the old adage about the prevalence of common sense. So people like me will do what we can. To grow our coffee and mentor those who have the courage to try this. It is the perfect celebration and payback for being a part of this fulfilling coffee farming journey

NARO Uganda@narouganda·
Coffee farmers deserve better! Across Uganda, many still struggle with fake seedlings, high costs, and long distances just to access planting materials leading to losses in both income and yields. At NARO, through the National Coffee Research Institute (@NaCORIUganda ) and partners, we are changing this. The National Coffee Seed System Project (NCSP) is building a reliable, structured system to deliver genuine, affordable, and timely coffee planting materials to farmers nationwide. Because quality seed = better yields, better incomes, and a stronger coffee sector.

@DanielLutaaya Deserves A Follow. Most people will find this reasoning silly, but i guess it depends on where one stand financially. It only makes sense when you have good credit and can get very low interest rates.

I see Ugandans bragging about buying assets in cash without borrowing a single coin. Mbu, I built my house with my hard earned money, And then you go to the bond and buy a toyota prado TX (260Million) cash😳 Who bewitched you my people? You find a Ugandan with a good job who has access to great credit saying this nonsense. Given the opportunity to use other people’s money(Bank money) Why should you use your own money to buy or build a an asset that brings no returns( A house which you sleep in or a car that actually depreciates) If you don’t have access to credit, it is okay, save your ka money and build the house on cash basis but if you have good credit, use it. What borrowing to build those assets does is it frees up your money to invest elsewhere, this is how wealth is built. So here is a sample game-plan if you have good credit, pick a loan from your bank and build a 3 floor apartment of mizigos (2 BHK units on each floor), take the top floor for yourself, the rent from the 2 floors below will pay the loan. Now those savings(the cash you wanted to use on a family house), put that in a good investment fund and watch it grow. @nssfug also has a savings fund called smart-life, put your money there osolike. It gives interest per month, so just pick the interest and leave the principle there. Banks are literally begging to give some of you money and you are refusing so you can brag to your drinking buddies mbu “I am Debt free.” Debt free biki nga oli mwavu. If you can use someone else’s money to build wealth, use it. Bwoba otya loan, settle for lower class, maybe middle class if you work weekends and even holidays. Awo munange ne ku christmas gwe oba olina okukola, anti toyagala loan. But eby’obugagga byesonyiwe. Less than 1% of you will become rich off your little savings and the chances of you being part of those few self made billionaires is almost Zero.
