This year has seen prolonged dry spells in most of the coffee
growing areas. The areas of Masaka and Western Uganda,
currently the biggest producers of coffee, were hardest hit. This
impacted the coffee at flowering stage (i.e. abortion of flowers);
at the filling of the berries stage (i.e., poor filling); and has
therefore negatively impacted coffee yield in general.
