Insights about integrated farming of Cocoa, find more about the story in published paper @bukeddeonline this week with the Program Leader Cocoa Research Program, National Coffee Research Institute @NaCORIUganda

Congrats @UgGovertment @NARO upon this Milestone in Agri-Innovations for a better livestock industry in Uganda.

DID YOU KNOW? *Coffee farmers struggle to find genuine seedlings. *When they find the seedlings, they are expensive. *Farmers trek or drive long distances to get seedlings. *Many coffee farmers are falling victim to counterfeit suppliers, resulting in huge losses. @narouganda coffee research team & partners have set up a structured seed system designed to ensure that farmers get quality seedlings in time. *Through #UgandaCoffeeSeedSystemProject, @NaCORIUganda will avail farmers with disease-free, high-yielding & drought tolerant coffee varieties. *Access to these seedlings will be through designated centres across the country. #EmwanyiTelimba

#CoCoDEV Project Highlights: Coffee & cocoa nursery operators are participating in a week-long practical retooling exercise @narouganda @rwebitaba research institute, Kabarole. Key areas of the training include; improved propagation procedures, general management and operating a coffee nursery and mother gardens as a business. The trainees are identified from key project areas across the country: Ntoroko, Lwengo, Masaka, Mayuge, Kibale, Mubende, Mbale, Lira, Ntungamo, Kamwenge, Karamoja, Gulu. @narouganda coffee & cocoa research team @NaCORIUganda is taking lead on the training exercise. The project is being implemented by @CoffeeUganda and @narouganda. COCODEV - The Coffee, Cocoa Value-Chain Development Project was officially launched in 2014. The project aims at increasing availability & accessibility of high-quality foundation/starter seedlings for cocoa, arabica and robusta coffee. The project supports certified nursery operators to multiply the best seedlings & ensure that they reach farmers. Funded by @EUinUG through @CoffeeUganda is enhancing the quality of coffee and cocoa in 🇺🇬 through availing quality seedlings & postharvest handling practices. Together we are laying the ground work for a more resilient and prosperous future for Uganda's coffee and cocoa industries.

@narouganda @NaLIRRI May the Almighty God grant the departed soul eternal peace.

COCOA: When setting up a new cocoa farm, intercrop the cocoa with food crops: banana, cassava, yam, beans, soya bean, groundnuts, maize to provide initial shade for newly planted cocoa seedlings. These also serve as a source of food and income. #CoCoDevProject #CocoaIsTheNewGold

Yeeei, interesting

They Buy Our Coffee Cheap. They Sell It for Billions. In 2021, Italy bought $178M of Uganda’s coffee as raw beans. They processed it and made billions. Two companies, Illy and Lavazza, earn over $52B yearly from coffee. The problem isn’t markets. It’s value addition. #CoffeeEconomy #ValueAddition #UgandaCoffee

COCOA: DID YOU KNOW? Cocoa is a strategic commodity in🇺🇬 National Development Plan. 2026 cocoa production in 🇺🇬 is projected at 45,000 metric tons, up from 39,000. Three main types of cocoa are grown in Africa: Criollo, Forastero & Trinitario.
