    For three decades, Uganda's coffee story has been told as a triumph of liberalisation. The state retreated from direct marketing. Private exporters flourished. Volumes climbed to roughly seven million 60kg bags annually. The sector became more efficient and competitive. That reform worked.

    To ignore agriculture is criminal
    (New Vision, 2017-09-04) Busharizi, Paul
    It is also pointed out that our middle income nation status and goals to transform the economy away from a peasant-based one to a modern one will remain a pipe dream if we do not go beyond paying lip service to agriculture as the back-bone of the economy.
