Coffee is native to tropical Africa, Madagascar, and the Comoros, Mauritius and Réunion in the Indian Ocean. The plant was exported from Africa to countries around the world and coffee plants are now cultivated in over 70 countries, primarily in the equatorial regions of the Americas, Southeast Asia, India, and Africa. The two most commonly grown are the highly regarded arabica, and the less sophisticated but stronger and more hardy robusta. Once ripe, coffee beans are picked, processed, and dried. Dried coffee beans are roasted to varying degrees, depending on the desired flavor. Roasted beans are ground and brewed to produce coffee as a beverage.

Coffee is used as a beverage, as a flavouring, as a food ingredient. It is considered to possess many health benefits for humans. Coffee is marketed as a premium product in developed countries.

Coffee grows best at high elevations close to the equator. World demand is strong and is increasing. Coffee production is labor intensive. Uganda has the perfect climate for growing excellent tasting coffees. The Ugandan Government gives excellent support to coffee growers.

The Ugandan crop can grow 5 or 6 fold in the next 15 to 20 years – perhaps even more.

Ugandan coffee growers are hard working. Ugandan coffee growers appreciate our style of doing business – we support them financially between crops.

Creator Universal has been requested by representatives of the Ugandan Government, to add value to the coffee bean production of Uganda. Creator Universal has agreed to do this. We will develop profitable businesses processing Ugandan coffee. We will provide revenue and provide employment to the people of Uganda.
