Coffee in Uganda is produced in two major types.

– Arabica Coffee which contributes about 20% of the annual National Coffee produce and Robusta Coffee which contributes about 80% of the Coffee produced annually.

Robusta Coffee is grown in the low altitude areas of Central, Eastern, Western and South Eastern Uganda up to 1,200meters above sea level while Arabica coffee is grown in the highland areas on the slopes of Mountain Elgon in the East and Mountain Rwenzori and Mountain Muhabura in the South Western Region, between 1500-2,300metres above sea level.

Unlike Robusta coffee whose native habitat is the Lake Victoria crescent, Arabica coffee was introduced from Ethiopia to Uganda. Arabica coffee is more competitive on the International market because of its superior quality.

Robusta too has intrinsic quality attributes which even attracts a premium on the international coffee market. A new Arabica coffee variety, Tuzza a.k.a Catimors has recently been introduced and it also performs well in the low altitude areas of Uganda which had been previously zoned for Robusta coffee.
