The regional quality manager Uganda coffee development authority, Gordon Katwirenabo says that although the legislation is meant to boost quality coffee production, they have received a lot of public criticism.
According to the petitioners, on May 12th and 20th 2022 Parliament directed that coffee seedlings be given to farmers and permission be granted to nursery operators to supply all overgrown seedlings in the nursery beds as the March-May 2022 planting season was running out but no guidance was issued.
