Who We Are

Kyotera Biikira Coffee Farmers Co-operative Society Ltd (KYOBFA) is a registered coffee farmers' cooperative in Kyotera District, serving more than 250 farmers in Kasaali Sub-county. The cooperative was formed to enhance the coffee bean value chain — focusing on better production and marketing, and on advocating for coffee farmers.

The cooperative has invested in its own coffee hulling machine and storage facilities to expand market reach, and has sought partnerships — including with the Government of Uganda and the World Bank — to boost coffee quality and quantity. It aspires to obtain fair trade certification and to connect directly with international buyers.

The cooperative was started with support from COPCE Uganda to serve coffee farmers in Kasaali Sub-county, who faced two big problems: poor access to markets and the high cost of hulling their coffee.

By organising together, members acquired land and their own hulling machine — turning those challenges into shared assets. Founded in [Year founded].
