Kenneth and Nico will share the real story of Uganda’s 2024 coffee season — the wins, struggles, and what’s next. Learn how challenges like price swings and low yields impact everyone.

Listen, ask questions, and help shape coffee’s future — because we grow stronger together.

Join the feedback loops for a real-time report on the season’s highs and hardships, with reflections on how producers were impacted and how we responded. This is a collaborative space for honest conversation and shared learning. An open invitation to co-create what comes next. Let’s close the loop, starting now.
