THE COFFEE CORNER We would like to start by thanking all our members and strategic partners as we close the 2011/2012 financial year. AFCA has come a long way during this period as key regional brand and as a financially sustainable organization something we hope to continue to do over the coming years. During this period AFCA, made significantly steps in representing Africa at various international forums such as ICO and 4C, strengthened regional capacity through the CFC project, chapter networking through breakfasts and marketed African coffees at various platforms both physically and digitally through the new Taste of Harvest Portal. AFCA is now preparing to roll out several high level trainings through the AFCA Coffee Institute and strengthen its regional voice and impact. We also thank key partners in the preparation for the 10th African Fine Coffees Conference and Exhibition in Kampala, Uganda. We welcome you all to Uganda for another memorable conference. The October – December 2012 issue will also feature as our Annual Magazine that will be released in print form at the 10th African Fine Coffees Conference and Exhibition in Kampala Uganda. The Sleeping Giant Awakes, our feature article, seeks to explore the awakening of the Ugandan coffee industry over the last 5 to 10 years. This insightful article provides a rare insight into what led to the industry comeback. A ripple in the ocean of coffee growing provides a brief on the history of coffee in Malawi from inception to independence while our Champions of Africa blog provides an exclusive interview with Robert Mbabazi, Uganda’s three-time national barista champion and Africa’s 2012 Barista Challenge Champion Mitigation of Climate Change raises a case for climate change while Uganda Quality Coffee Processors and Traders Association move to act looks at the efforts of Ugandan traders to make significant steps to enhance quality along the value chain. Our special report from the AFCA Coffee Institute, Around the Region provides an outlook from the AFCA Coffee Institute on the African Coffee Market. Enjoy! Mr. Harrison Kalua Chairman Board of Directors, AFCA 5
