The Future Of Coffee – CoffeeTalk

Uganda’s coffee industry, which relies on 1.8 million smallholders, faces challenges from droughts, rain, and pests. Arabica and Robusta coffee are at risk due to their need for stable temperatures. Liberica, a wild type of coffee, appears more climate-resilient and resistant to pests. However, not everyone is convinced by its taste. More work is needed to improve cultivation and processing.

Germany’s coffee roasting companies are increasingly interested in alternative cultivation methods. The industry is evolving due to resilient bean varieties, sustainable cultivation, and fairer trade conditions.
