Ugandan Mount Elgon Specialty Coffee – European Roaster Offtake

Requirement

Uganda's Mount Elgon region produces exceptional Arabica coffee increasingly recognized in specialty markets. This $1 million annual offtake connects certified cooperatives with European specialty roasters seeking distinctive African origins with strong social impact credentials. The offering includes 160 tonnes annually of washed Arabica SL14 and SL28 varieties from altitudes above 1,800 meters. Cupping scores consistently achieve 84-87 SCA points with flavor profiles featuring wine-like acidity, stone fruit, and dark chocolate notes. Organic and fair trade certifications available. We seek European specialty roasters, green coffee importers, and hospitality procurement teams. Supply partners include three cooperatives on Mount Elgon's slopes with combined 8,000 farmer members, central processing units with quality laboratories, and direct trade pricing transparency. Pricing ranges $4.50-6.50/lb green FOB Mombasa depending on grade and lot selection. Standard terms are CAD or 60-day credit for established relationships. Container-load lots (19 tonnes) and mixed-origin consolidation available. Uganda is Africa's second-largest coffee exporter but remains under-recognized in specialty markets. Mount Elgon coffees compete with top Kenyan and Ethiopian origins at lower price points, offering roasters margin opportunity with compelling origin stories.
