The Bugisu Cooperative Union (BCU) is a Ugandan agricultural cooperative federation, established in July 1954. It was started by a group of coffee farmers led by The Late EV.Samson Kitutu. A new Bugisu coffee ordinance was enacted in 1955 providing for BCU ltd to take over all the marketing functions from the Bugisu coffee scheme as well as all the scheme's assets except the reserve funds which were still held by Bugisu coffee board.
