Summary
Cloned Robusta coffee seedlings obtained from research institutes and nurseries recommended by Uganda Coffee Development Authority (UCDA) are the best planting material to go for. Some prominent farmers, too, make good cloned Robusta coffee plantlets usually with guidance from agricultural services extension officers.

The main driving force behind successful Robusta coffee growing is the interest that the farmer has in the crop as a major source of cash.
Coffee is almost as good as cash because it can easily be exchanged for money at any time of the year. The prices may sometimes fluctuate but it is a crop whose market is guaranteed as there are always traders and organisations ready to buy good quality coffee.
