Reference excerpt

The Uganda Coffee Development Authority (UCDA) is a government agency mandated to "regulate, promote and oversee the quality of coffee along the entire value chain, support research and development, promote production, and improve the marketing of coffee in order to optimize foreign exchange earnings for the country and payments to the farmers.

Location The headquarters of the agency are located at Coffee House, Plot 35 Jinja Road, in the Central Business District of Kampala, the capital and largest city in the country. The coordinates of UCDA headquarters are:0°18'53.0"N, 32°35'28.0"E (Latitude:0.314735; Longitude:32.591106).

About UCDA Uganda Coffee Development Authority (UCDA) was established by an Act of Parliament 1991 and amended in 1994, Cap. 325 under the laws of the Republic of Uganda. UCDA is established as a public Authority and its mandate is to promote and oversee the coffee industry by supporting research, promoting production, controlling the quality and improving the marketing of coffee in order to optimize foreign exchange earnings for the country and payments to the farmers. It is administered under the Uganda Ministry of Agriculture, Animal Industry and Fisheries.

Values of the Authority UCDA believes in and continues to aspire for the following:

Good governance. This takes into account high level of transparency, Accountability, Integrity, Respect for self and others; Provide value for stakeholders; Respect for the environment. Encouraging major stakeholders to produce coffee in a sustainable manner; Decentralization and working in harmony with the public and private sector in the execution of its services.

Objectives of the Authority To promote, improve and monitor the marketing of coffee with a view to optimizing foreign exchange earnings and payments to the farmers; To control the quality of coffee in order to ensure that all coffee exported meets the standards stipulated by the contract between the seller and the buyer; To develop and promote the coffee and other related industries through research and extension arrangements; To promote the marketing of coffee as a final product; To promote domestic consumption of coffee and price.

Relation to International Coffee Organization In February 2022, Uganda announced that it was suspending its membership to the International Coffee Organization (ICO), for two years. This was on account of Uganda's perception that ICO looks out for the interests of the consumer countries, with little concern for the interests of the producing nations. The managing director of UCDA, Emmanuel Iyamulemye, said at the time, that "suspending membership for two years will give Uganda a chance to use the resources to further enhance our coffee sector.. and focus on ..increasing production to 20 million bags by 2025/2030."

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Uganda Coffee Development Authority

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Uganda Coffee Development Authority claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Uganda Coffee Development Authority before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Uganda Coffee Development Authority ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Uganda Coffee Development Authority

In research: Uganda Coffee Development Authority appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Uganda Coffee Development Authority in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Uganda Coffee Development Authority is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1991 establishments in Uganda, Agriculture in Uganda, Coffee industry, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Uganda Coffee Development Authority outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
