Challenging established practices in the coffee industry
This case study describes the work of Mountain Harvest, an intermediary organization in Uganda that supports 850 smallholder coffee farmers in the Mount Elgon region. The organization utilizes a commercial business model focused on premium, organic, and ethically traded coffee to help farmers bypass commodity pricing and secure higher prices. To combat climate change and seasonality, Mountain Harvest promotes regenerative agriculture and income diversification through additional crops and livestock. The organization also seeks to improve the livelihoods of 'invisible workers,' specifically female hand sorters who often earn less than $1 a day.
