UGANDA will supply 100 tonnes of coffee to two companies in Japan following the signing of a contract at the ongoing world trade exposition Aichi, Japan, an official of the Uganda Export Promotions Board, Augustus Mutooro, has said.
Mutooro said on Wednesday that the company marketing Uganda’s coffee is Katsuhara Coffee Group of Nagoya, which specialises in Arabica coffee.
The firm serves the coffee in more than 12 coffee shops in Nagoya. A 200g packet of coffee costs 600 Japanese yen ($6).
Uganda’s barkcloth is also a major attraction at the exposition, which started in March and will end in September.
“Barkcloth products have sold much because most of the visitors to our pavillion wonder how can you make a cloth from a tree,†Mutooro said.
An exhibitor said viewers like products from barkcloth especially the lubugo hats, photo frames and handbags.
