History

Our History

Arabica Coffee originated from Abyssinia, the present-day Ethiopia and was introduced in Bugisu, by the then British Colonial Government in 1912. The first area to accept the growing of coffee was in Bumudu Parish in Buwalasi Sub-county in Budadiri County.

Since it was a newly introduced crop, some farmers did not easily accept growing the coffee crop. However, the local Chiefs and clan leaders quickly adopted the growing of this Arabica Coffee.
 
The first coffee nursery bed was established at Masekele in Bukiyiti Parish in 1915. Bukiyiti was the then seat of the county administration.
