We keep saying Uganda’s coffee industry is worth billions and honestly, the numbers sound beautiful. But every time I hear that I keep asking myself one uncomfortable question: who is actually financing that billion?
It is the farmer who buys the seedlings. The farmer who pays for land preparation, labour, weeding and harvesting. The farmer who wakes up to a dry season and still has to find a way to keep the coffee alive. The farmer who can spend years waiting for a young coffee garden to start paying back.
Then harvest comes, the coffee leaves the farm and suddenly everyone starts talking about markets, exports, quality, logistics, financing and margins.
But where is the farmer in that value equation?
And this is where I think we need to have a different conversation with young people.
We keep telling them, “Go into coffee farming.” But are we giving them the real numbers? What does it actually cost to establish an acre? How much labour will it require? How many years before the investment starts paying back? What does it cost to produce one kilogram? And after all that investment, who captures the value when that coffee becomes a final product?
Because you cannot convince a young person to invest in agriculture with motivation alone. Show them the numbers.
Show them the cost. Show them the risk. Show them the value chain. Show them where the money is made.
If the person carrying the biggest production risk has the least influence over the value of the final product then maybe the problem isn’t that young people don’t want to farm.
Maybe we have spent too much time telling young people to enter agriculture and not enough time making agriculture make economic sense for them.
Maybe we haven’t made the business fair enough for them to want to stay.
To the stakeholders shaping Uganda’s coffee sector especially government, exporters, buyers, financial institutions, development partners, farmer organisations and everyone else around the table it’s time we bring young people into the actual conversations.
Not just to fill seats at conferences but to sit with them and discuss the real numbers: the cost of land, seedlings, labour, financing, climate risks, production costs, market prices and the time it takes to get a return. If we want young people to invest seriously in coffee then they deserve to understand the risks and the economics before they put their money into the soil.

THE “GIVE ME A SAMPLE” SYNDROME.
There is a syndrome I have come to know too well in the coffee and cocoa business: “Give me a sample, I want to cup/taste it and we can do business.”
So you send the sample. You pay for the coffee, packaging and logistics. You wait for the feedback. Then… silence. No order. No “yes.” No “no.” Sometimes, not even a response.
From November last year to today, I have sent out 422 kg of Robusta and 214 kg of Arabica to prospective clients for sampling. That is 636 kg of coffee sent out in the hope of turning samples into real business. And honestly, barely did some of those who received them ever come back.
What people forget is that a sample has a story. Behind every kilogram is a farmer who needs to be paid, months of work, processing, drying, sorting, storage, transportation and the effort of trying to make that coffee good enough to sit on someone’s cupping table.
I don’t expect every sample to become an order. You can taste it and say it’s not the right profile. You can say the price doesn’t work. You can even say you found another supplier. I can handle good news. I can handle bad news. What is difficult is silence.
So, to the buyers asking for samples: please don’t treat samples like free coffee. Treat them as someone’s investment in the possibility of doing business with you.
If you don’t like it, say so. If the price doesn’t work, say so. If you’re not ready, say so. But don’t ask us to send the coffee, receive the story, taste the work and then disappear.
Because behind every sample is a farmer waiting for a market and behind every unanswered message is someone who invested money and trust in an opportunity that may never come.
If you are not ready to buy that’s okay. Just don’t make people pay to discover that you were never ready to respond.
Am just speaking on behalf of other traders and farmers in the business

Anything youths we see here to support
On 22nd August, something happened that I believe the coffee sector needs to pay attention to.
Over 50 young people came together for #YouthCoffeeConnect not for another office meeting not for another speech about how young people are “the future,” but to actually learn about coffee, connect with each other, explore business opportunities and ask one important question:
Where is our place on the coffee table?
And honestly, the hunger was visible.
Young people came with ideas. They came with questions. They came ready to network, to learn and to find opportunities. Some came as farmers, others as entrepreneurs, exporters, baristas, creatives and coffee enthusiasts. Different backgrounds but one thing connected us the desire to be part of an industry that has for so long been discussed around young people rather than with young people.
One of the highlights was seeing a team win seed money to take their pitch forward and invest in their idea. And I have personally committed to helping them push that idea from a pitch on paper into something real. Because this is what empowerment should look like.
Sometimes young people don’t need another conference where we sit in a room, take photos, listen to speeches and go home with nothing to build on.
They need spaces. They need networks. They need information. They need capital. They need mentorship. And sometimes, they simply need someone to say, “I believe in this idea. Let’s build it.”
Youth Coffee Connect reminded me that our young people are not uninterested in coffee.They are hungry for an opportunity.
They want a seat at the table. They want to own farms, build brands, trade coffee, add value, export, create technology and build businesses around coffee.
What we need to do is create these spaces more often. And to those who have access to coffee money, influence and decision making spaces, I challenge us: let’s stop making coffee about offices, meetings and noise while the young people who should be building the next coffee economy are left outside.
Bring them to the table.Give them knowledge.Give them opportunities.Give them access.And most importantly, trust them with something to build.
A huge thank you to every young person who showed up and made Youth Coffee Connect what it was.
And to our partners @peacofmindpack @SectrineGroup, @NostalgiCoffee and @UYCAlliance Thank you for believing that investing in young people is not charity. It is an investment in the future of coffee.This was only one event but the hunger we witnessed tells me we need many more. The young people are ready. Let’s give them the table
And it’s just the beginning of the movement of young people that are creating their own tables in the coffee industry

Agribusiness in Uganda, especially in the coffee and cocoa sectors, is full of potential, but it also comes with challenges that many people never see. While the world sees rising exports and the energy of youth joining the value chain, the reality on the ground is much tougher.
One major challenge is the constant fluctuation of international prices. Markets move unpredictably, making it difficult to offer stable prices to farmers while also meeting the demands of buyers. This creates a continuous struggle to balance expectations.
Transport and logistics also remain a big hurdle. Poor roads, high fuel costs, and delayed trucks make it expensive and stressful to move produce from farms to processing centres. Every trip becomes a risk in terms of time and cost.
Consistency in quality is another challenge. Export markets demand strict standards, yet most of our coffee and cocoa comes from smallholder farmers who need ongoing training and support. Achieving uniform quality across thousands of farmers requires time, patience, and resources.
Access to affordable financing is still limited. Agribusiness requires a lot of capital to buy produce, store it, transport it, and run operations yet youthled businesses often struggle to secure loans or credit.
Climate change is another threat we face daily. Irregular rainfall, longer droughts, and increasing pest attacks affect both yields and quality, forcing farmers and businesses to adapt quickly.
There are also high costs associated with processing and certifications. To access premium markets, businesses must invest in equipment, traceability, and compliance all of which demand significant financial strength.
Managing farmer relationships, though essential, requires consistent engagement. Building trust, offering training, and ensuring timely payments is not simple, but it is key to sustaining supply.
Lastly, shifting policies and new requirements like sustainability standards add pressure. Regulations change, taxes shift, and global demands evolve all creating uncertainties that businesses must constantly adjust to.
Despite these challenges, we remain committed. We believe in the potential of Uganda’s coffee and cocoa, and in the power of our young people to transform the sector. With better systems, training, and support, these challenges can become stepping stones toward a stronger agricultural future.
Good morning Uganda and all the hustlers

We live what we preach.
I’m not just here to talk about coffee farming I’m here to show what’s possible when you believe, start small, and stay consistent.
Just 1½ years down the road, this section of our farm is already thriving. Every leaf and berry reminds me that the future truly is coffee.
I remember when a group of youths visited the farm about 6 months ago they couldn’t believe this section of farm was about 11months and am certain if the same people visited today they wouldn’t believe it’s the same section the farm they saw a few months ago
When I tell people that you can start harvesting coffee in just 18 months, many think it’s a myth but here we are, living proof that it works.
To the young people out there don’t wait for everything to be perfect. Start with what you have, even if it’s just 100 coffee trees. That small beginning could be the foundation of something life changing.
And guess what?
I’m here to walk with you through that journey to guide, support, and show you that it can be done. Let’s grow this coffee dream together. 💪🏾
