The Kikenene Coffee Farmers Cooperative was created in 2022 by 30 producers from the Masaka region in Uganda. Officially registered in 2023, it now brings together 64 members, including 20 women and 44 men. Each producer manually harvests the ripe cherries and dries them in the sun on tarpaulins, directly on the farm.
The members meet on the 15th of each month to review progress, set objectives, and take part in training sessions on good agronomic practices such as pruning and selective harvesting. To better valorize their work, they acquired land and began building a processing unit equipped with a huller and storage facilities, enabling them to have greater control over the quality of their coffee.
