Aiming to empower traditional, single-family farms and encourage voluntary sustainability standards, 20000 smallholder coffee farmers in the Mount Elgon region of Uganda organized themselves under the umbrella of the Kawacom Uganda Limited- Sipi Falls Scheme. Over the years, the group has grown organically to 14,000 farms with sustainable methodologies and Organic, Utz, RA and Café certifications. The focus of the farmer groups has expanded to include productivity, quality, gender parity, economic growth, group governance, diversification, resilience and specialisation. Our members are trained to self-screen their produce and adhere to best practices during the growing, harvesting and processing of their coffees.
