Relation to International Coffee Organization
In February 2022, Uganda announced that it was suspending its membership to the International Coffee Organization (ICO), for two years. This was on account of Uganda's perception that ICO looks out for the interests of the consumer countries, with little concern for the interests of the producing nations.[7]
The managing director of UCDA, Emmanuel Iyamulemye, said at the time, that "suspending membership for two years will give Uganda a chance to use the resources to further enhance our coffee sector.. and focus on ..increasing production to 20 million bags by 2025/2030."[7]
