Reading Comprehension:

Massas story would be familiar to many coffee farmers in Uganda, and around the world. Coffee is highly
vulnerable to climate change. Rising temperatures and increasingly erratic rainfall are already exposing trees
to more pests and diseases, and decreasing both the quantity and quality of the crop, according to a global
survey of coffee research published in September. Overall, the survey found that climate pressure could
reduce the area suitable worldwide for coffee production 50 percent by 2050. That would be a devastating
blow to the global coffee supply, which is already struggling to keep pace with rising demand. A paper
published in Nature in June made similar dire predictions for Ethiopia, driving home the point for East Africa.

For coffee addicts in the U.S. and Europe, these impacts will likely manifest as a slightly higher bill for a
slightly worse cup of coffee. But for the worlds 25 million coffee farmers, most of whom are smallholders
like Massa whose fortunes rise and fall with the harvest, the consequences will be much more dire.

Uganda is especially vulnerable, because coffee is the countrys economic cornerstone. Now, scientists,
government ofcials, farmers, and entrepreneurs, from the top of Mount Elgon to downtown Kampala to
remote areas still reeling from warlord Joseph Kony, are scrambling to save the industry from climate
change.

Uganda ranks number eight worldwide in coffee production by volume, on par with Peru, and second in
Africa after Ethiopia. Uganda typically produces 3-4 million 60-kilogram bags of coffee each year, which
accounts for only two to three percent of global production and is far below behemoths like Brazil (55 million
bags) or Vietnam (25 million). The majority of what Ugandan farmers grow is Robusta, a relatively low-
quality variety that is often used for mass productionthink Folgers, rather than your local hipster roastery.

Nevertheless, over the past century, coffee here has advanced into Ugandas most important and valuable
industry, worth more than $400 million. Its responsible for at least 20 percent of the countrys export
revenue, and according to the Uganda Coffee Federation, one in ve Ugandans, nearly eight million people,
derive most or all of their income from coffee. Roughly 90 percent of the countrys coffee is produced by
smallholders like Massa.

President Yoweri Museveni, who has ruled Uganda since 1986 and cultivates a folky farmer-statesman
persona, refers to coffee as an anti-poverty crop and is pushing an ambitious (and according to many
experts here, completely unattainable) goal of increasing production ve-fold, to 20 million bags by 2020.
Coffee demand worldwide is projected to double by 2050, and Uganda wants in. It could be a solution to a
variety of chronic social problems, particularly the rural poverty and food insecurity that afict one-quarter of
the population, and a $3.3 billion trade decit (Uganda spends twice as much on petroleum imports as it
earns from coffee).

But challenges abound, even without climate change. Farmers often lack access to basic equipment like
fertilizer, irrigation, and high-quality seeds; services like bank loans, agricultural training, and market data;
and infrastructure like paved roads and processing facilities. Most farms are smallthe larger ones no
bigger than a football eldand with a rapidly growing rural population, the land is divided into ever-smaller
pieces. Weak land rights laws leave small farmers exposed to land grabs by wealthy neighbors or foreign
investors. Many young people would rather try their luck in Kampala than follow their parents onto the farm.
Women are frequently sidelined because land and household nances are traditionally controlled by men.

Overall, Ugandas coffee farming practices have not advanced much since the time of Massas forebears,
and farming incomes have stagnated among the lowest levels in Africa. As a result, farmers here are at a
disadvantage to compete in a global market increasingly characterized by mechanization and unforgiving
quality standardsand theyre entering the ght against climate change with one hand tied behind their
backs.
