Coffee Crisis: Uganda Tells Farmers to Stay Strong as Weather and Markets Turn Against Them

Uganda is calling on its coffee farmers to stay strong as they face serious problems from both bad weather and weak markets. The country is one of Africa's biggest coffee producers, and the coffee industry supports millions of people. Farmers are dealing with unpredictable rain and rising temperatures that damage crops. At the same time, global coffee prices have been unstable, making it harder for farmers to earn a steady income. Ugandan officials say farmers must not give up. They are urging growers to keep working and to use better farming methods that can help them survive these difficult conditions. Coffee is one of Uganda's most important exports. Any threat to the industry affects not only farmers but also the country's economy. The government says it will continue to support farmers through these challenges.
