Our Farm are located on the very first commercially established large scale coffee farms that earned Uganda its prized position on the global coffee platform prior to the political upheavals of the 1970’s and the fatal coffee wilt disease from which the entire Uganda Coffee industry was decimated.
The Salama area has historically been a major coffee, cocoa, tea and other crop growing region. We have recently completed the initial stages of our aggressively 4 years strategic development plan to develop 400 ha of coffee, 50 Ha cocoa, complete establishment of 200Ha of forestry while maintaining and improving our current 260 Ha of tea.
The Kijjudde estate, situated 6Km from NkoKonjeru town in Mukono district – was historically a large-scale coffee and cocoa estate. However, this was largely abandoned before we took over the property. it was here that the coffee research center was established as far back as 1939 with the main objective of researching cocoa and coffee development. Incidentally the first variety of cocoa to be introduced in the country – Trinitario was done at Kijudde.
The Salama Coffee Estate
Come visit us and enjoy an amazing cup of coffee on us!
With our Coffee now covering an area of almost 400 Ha (1,000Acres) that has been recently rehabilitated and planted, the field operations span over three historically renowned coffee farms at Luwala near Jinja, with Kijudde, and Salama itself in the Mukono district. Benefitting from the natural tropical climate and fertile soils, these farms are naturally rain-fed and have for long been home to the rich legendary Ugandan coffee taste and aroma that has stood the test of time.
With the first Coffee area replanted in March 2015, the birth of Salama Coffee Estates as a Division of the parent company began the journey into becoming a significant grower with 400Ha of Coffee established by the end of 2020, with further expansion planned for 2021.
