Coffee Production a Golden Opportunity for Rural Youth Employment
This policy brief draws from the research paper by Mbowa et al. (2014) focusing on the prospects and challenges of the coffee sector in the mid-North of Uganda. There is growing evidence in the sub-region that the systematic coffee planting by the Uganda Coffee Development Authority has yielded positive results in the sub-region. Despite the faster adoption of coffee in the sub-region, there are challenges that need to be addressed. These relate to lack of organized marketing and processing infrastructure to support value addition; and inadequate coffee specialized extension support system to narrow the knowledge gap about recommended agronomic practices among farmers.
