Uganda’s ranking among the world’s top coffee producers is expected to improve as the country prepares to produce a record 4.8 million bags this year.
According to a report by the International Coffee Organisation (ICO), the 27 per cent increase in production is attributed to increased acreage of land under coffee bushes.
