National Unity Platform (NUP) presidential candidate Robert Kyagulanyi, alias Bobi Wine, has pledged to strengthen cooperatives in Bugisu Sub-region in a bid to revive coffee growing as he made his second coming to the area.
Bobi Wine, who campaigned in only one district yesterday, said many farmers have lost interest in growing the crop because of the fluctuating prices in the market and the loss of the quality of the products.
“I know coffee growing was always the people’s number one income earner in this region and the people of this district, to be specific, have been so much affected by the loss of popularity in the trade,” Mr Kyagulanyi said.
