The following story appeared sometime this month regarding a
coffee disease ravaging different districts in Uganda. The article says that
before 2002 Mukono district had 54,000 hectares of coffee and at the time of
this article, half of that had died due to the coffee wilt disease. Remember that
Uganda is an agricultural country that depends on coffee for jobs and incomes. Since
at time, the population in these districts has increased and yet coffee production
which has remained the economic activity is reducing. Can anybody suggest some
solutions? What surprises me is that there is no response on this matter from
the Coffee Development Authority.
