When Uganda’s coffee crop was nearly decimated by the coffee wilt disease in the 1990s and early 2000s, Kyagalanyi played a major role in re-seeding with wilt-resistant varieties of Robusta Coffee. At the company’s 7 acres (2.8 ha) facility in Nakanyonyi Village, Mukono District, Kyagalanyi established a nursery with these new varieties and supplied them to farmers at no cost. The company has its main processing plant in Kampala’s Industrial Area and another processing factory in Mbale, that is dedicated to processing Arabica Coffee, that is grown in the mountainous region around Mt Elgon.
