Agronomic and economic benefits of coffee banana intercropping in Ugandas smallholder farming systems
This report is a first step in a joint attempt to map Uganda's coffee quality at harvest. This report provides a summary overview of the data collected for the most important Arabica and Robusta-growing regions in Uganda. The work is building on the coffee yield mapping led by IITA and supported ...
tCoffee is Uganda’s biggest export commodity, produced mainly by an estimated one million smallholderfarmers (<2.5 ha). Arabica (Coffea arabica L.) and Robusta (Coffea canephora Pierre ex Froehn.) are thetwo coffee species grown. Robusta is dominantly cultivated at lower elevations (<1400 m) such...
