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.

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.

Land is described as a factor of production and it is viewed in terms of agriculture, natural resources, or construction of roads, factories, and buildings. Some land surfaces are preserved as natural forests or wetlands. Farmers need land for agricultural production.
Unfortunately mainly due to population explosion thousands of farming households occupy parcels of land that are too small to produce even the amount of food they need to feed themselves. The land parcels are getting smaller since many of our ethnic inheritance systems dictate that the children share equally their dead parent’s property.
