Ankole Coffee Producers Co-operative Union Ltd (ACPCU) was founded by 10 primary cooperative societies in 2006. It has now grown to cover 20 Primary Cooperative Societies with about 10,000 individual farmers.

We have a rich, proud heritage of growing coffee dating back to our forefathers. But we are now experiencing more extreme weather patterns and our growing populations are putting a strain on the land and natural resources. We are taking positive measures to adapt the way we farm: reducing soil erosion by building terraces and planting trees; boosting soil fertility with nitrogen-fixing plants, mulch, homemade compost and animal manure; and promoting biogas to reduce the need for cutting down trees for firewood for cooking.
