Mananasi again. We had an unforgettable and enjoyable experience last year with this distinctive crop that has become an icon for Soil Roastery. It comes to you from an altitude of 1900 meters above sea level, in a fertile and ideal land for growing coffee cherries in Uganda, specifically in the Kinga Kyanza District. The story of Mananasi begins when the Great Lakes Coffee team conducted a unique social experiment that deserves to be told. The team decided to work hard to improve the quality of coffee from an area that was known for producing low-quality Arabica coffee at a low price compared to similar areas in Uganda. They sought to do this by developing a special program to train farmers, where the trained team rises to form farmers with a leadership role in the community and provide intensive and in-depth training courses in agricultural engineering, processing and harvesting methods. After that, 35 members of small farmers are appointed for each leading farmer. These small groups are appreciated through financial rewards according to the unit, as the better the quality of the coffee, the better the return. The wage of the working group. The leading farmer receives an additional bonus for the double training he provides to his colleagues as an incentive and guarantee for the knowledge he efficiently transfers to them during the training. The Red Cherry Program is the next stage of the quality improvement that has been gradually taking place over the past years. This program focuses primarily on quality first and foremost by guiding the farmers to pick only ripe cherries. Then, the coffee is dried on raised beds, and after the coffee is completely dried, it is sent to the processing plant to remove all possible defects in the coffee in order to ensure a clean and pure cup of coffee.
