Abstract
Uganda is considering phasing out exports of unprocessed coffee in favour of local value addition, a move private sector leaders said could reshape farmer earnings, job creation, and the structure of the country’s coffee value chain. The shift, which is being pursued alongside efforts to attract foreign investment, aims at expanding domestic processing, retaining more economic value within the country, and boosting industrial activity in the coffee sector.
