Our Story
At Legacy Coffee, our mission is to redefine the coffee value chain in Uganda, starting in the Rwenzori region. While Uganda produces premium coffee, its quality often suffers due to broken value chains and one-off transactions between buyers and farmers, leading to high price volatility and unreliable markets.
Our model is different. With more than 90% of Ugandan coffee farmers being small-holders, we bring them together in a cooperative setting. This approach allows us to equip them with advanced post-harvest processing techniques at the farm level. By fostering a relationship-based supply chain, we ensure consistent pricing and a stable market for over 1,000 small-holder coffee producers. This commitment to transparency, traceability, and relationship-based trade gives us greater control over quality, while giving farmers price stability through long-term contracts and reduced vulnerability to market speculation.
