Alfred Ojok, a coffee farmer in Northern Uganda, is leading a transformation in the region's coffee sector with financial backing from dfcu Bank. The initiative focuses on improving yields and market access for smallholder farmers, contributing to Uganda's economic growth under the National Development Plan IV (NDP IV).
Uganda aims to expand its economy from approximately $50 billion to $500 billion by 2040, with agro-industrialization as a key driver. Coffee is a major export crop, and efforts like Ojok's are critical to achieving this goal.
dfcu Bank's support includes providing loans and training to farmers, helping them adopt modern farming techniques. This partnership is expected to increase coffee production and income for thousands of families in the region.
