The Katikkiro of Buganda, Charles Peter Mayiga, has launched a two-day visit to Buvuma Islands to promote coffee farming under the Emmwanyi Terimba initiative.

During the visit, officials will meet local farmers, provide guidance on best practices in coffee farming, and encourage participation in the marketing and sale of coffee, with the aim of boosting household incomes.
The Emmwanyi Terimba campaign, which was first launched in Buwekula County, has already benefited many Kabaka’s subjects by promoting coffee growing as a reliable source of livelihood.
The initiative provides training and support to farmers, helping them adopt modern agricultural methods while linking them to markets.
Speaking ahead of the trip, Katikkiro Mayiga said the campaign seeks to strengthen economic empowerment among households and support sustainable development across Buganda.
“The goal of Emmwanyi Terimba is to help our people fight poverty and improve their livelihoods. Coffee farming is not just a crop; it is a pathway to economic independence for our communities,” the Katikkiro noted.
The initiative has been steadily expanding across all 18 counties of Buganda, with the Kingdom actively encouraging participation at both household and community levels.
Officials say the campaign aligns with broader efforts to promote agricultural productivity, youth engagement, and wealth creation in the region.

As the Emmwanyi Terimba campaign continues to reach more counties, the Katikkiro’s engagement underscores the Kingdom’s commitment to ensuring that cultural leadership translates into tangible socio-economic benefits for its subjects.
