Central Coffee Farmers Association (CECOFA), is a ‘farmer owned‘ organization that brings together coffee farmers from the Central region (Wakiso, Masaka, Luwero and Bukuya, Kibale, Mpigi, Bukuga, Mubende), helping them improve their farming practices, access the international market, and receive free technical training and support in coffee farming.
CECOFA was founded in 2005 by a small group of entrepreneurial farmers, now made up of 3664 farmers within the districts of central Uganda, located near the shores of Lake Victoria, close to the Equator line. 1,200 of these are FairTrade and 4C certified.
