Operation Wealth Creation has brought together local leaders, farmers and processors in Isingiro District to evaluate progress in the coffee sector and explore strategies for boosting production as Uganda advances toward its goal of 20 million bags annually.
The meeting at the district headquarters focused on strengthening the coffee value chain, enhancing value addition, and tackling persistent challenges facing farmers and processors.
The acting Deputy Chief Coordinator of Operations Wealth Creation Brig Gen Godfrey Muwanguzi, stressed the inseparable link between security and development, noting that both are essential for Uganda’s transformation and encouraged farmers to adopt modern agronomic practices and to prioritise value addition.
The Deputy Resident District Commissioner of Isingiro commended Operation Wealth Creation role in distributing coffee seedlings, saying it had improved livelihoods, but urged stronger monitoring mechanisms to ensure accountability and resolve emerging issues.
