Value at Source,
Built for Uganda

The Luwero Coffee Value Park is Nonda Coffee's single largest investment in Uganda's coffee future. Located in Butalangu Town Council, Nakaseke District, this 100-acre facility will house grading, processing, roasting, and packaging operations under one roof.

Instead of exporting raw green beans and watching the value add happen overseas, the park keeps processing at source. Every dollar of value, grading, roasting, branding, and logistics, stays in Uganda.

This is the model Nonda Coffee was built on: produce world-class coffee, process it where it is grown, and deliver finished products to buyers worldwide. The park makes that model permanent.

The Highest Level of Support

Presidential Endorsement

President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni publicly endorsed the Nonda Coffee Park project, naming Nonda and CEO Tony Miiro directly. The President pledged full government support and committed to mobilising coffee farmers across the Luwero region and beyond to supply the facility.

What the Park Means for Uganda

Farmers First

Farmers in the Luwero catchment area gain direct market access. Sell graded coffee to the park at competitive, transparent prices. No middlemen. No price guesswork. Quality premiums tied to international standards, not local middleman rates.

Jobs and Skills

Thousands of direct jobs in processing, quality control, logistics, and administration. Technical training programs equip young Ugandans from Bukalangu and surrounding areas with coffee processing expertise that is in demand worldwide.

Industrial Anchor

The park anchors a new industrial ecosystem in Nakaseke District. Ancillary businesses in transport, packaging, equipment maintenance, and services follow. Nakaseke becomes a recognised coffee hub on the global map.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Luwero Coffee Value Park?
The Luwero Coffee Value Park is a 100-acre coffee processing and value-addition hub being developed by Nonda Coffee in Butalangu Town Council, Nakaseke District, Uganda. The $200 million facility will house grading, processing, roasting, and packaging operations, keeping the full coffee value chain within Uganda instead of exporting raw green beans for processing abroad. At full capacity, it will process 42,000 metric tonnes of coffee annually.
When will construction begin?
The official groundbreaking ceremony is scheduled for October 2026. Community engagement with the Bukalangu Town Council was completed in June 2026, and site finalisation and permitting are underway between July and September 2026. Construction will follow in phases after the groundbreaking.
How will local farmers benefit from the park?
Farmers in the Luwero catchment area will gain direct market access, selling graded coffee to the park at competitive, transparent prices without middlemen. Those producing higher-grade beans can earn quality premiums tied to international market standards. The park will maintain consistent buying throughout the harvest season, reducing the price volatility smallholder farmers face when they have no guaranteed buyer. Farmer mobilisation and quality training programs will begin before the park becomes operational.
How many jobs will the park create?
The Luwero Coffee Value Park is projected to create more than 5,000 direct and indirect jobs in Nakaseke District and the surrounding region. Direct employment will span processing, quality control, logistics, administration, and facility management. Indirect jobs will emerge in transport, packaging, equipment maintenance, and local services. Skills training programs will equip local youth with technical coffee processing expertise.
Has the project received government support?
Yes. In July 2026, President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni publicly endorsed the Nonda Coffee Park project on X (Twitter), naming Nonda and CEO Tony Miiro directly. The President pledged full government support and committed to mobilising coffee farmers across the Luwero region to supply the facility. This is the highest-level government endorsement Nonda Coffee has received to date. The project is also working closely with the Bukalangu Town Council and Nakaseke District authorities.
