Driving Uganda’s Development Plan
The project aligns directly with Uganda’s 4th National Development Plan (NDPIV 2025/2026–2029/2030), which prioritises coffee as one of six key agricultural value chains for value addition. By boosting exports and creating innovative coffee products, Inspire Africa Group is set to contribute to national growth and position Uganda as a global player in the coffee industry.
