Effect of Covid-19 lockdown measures on
coffee farmers in Central and Western Uganda
REFNo: SS486ES
This study aims to understand the effect of COVID-19 and the consequent lockdown
measures on coffee farming households in the JDE Farm College a program being
implemented by TechnoServe (a non-profit organization). JDE is working in partnership with Technoserve to train coffee farmers on coffee agronomy best practices, helping them improve
the quality and yields of their coffee trees, which in turn will increase their income in the long term. Farmers are enrolled in the training program every 2 years in what is referred to as a
“cohortâ€. Enrolled farmers come together and form a focal farmer group and a farmer trainer is appointed to run the training sessions. Coffee demo plots are implemented in order to train farmers in real-life conditions. The trainings are conducted every month and attendance is tracked. Laterite is a research, data and advisory firm with offices in Kampala who is partnered with TechnoServe to provide research support for the monitoring and evaluation activities of the TechnoServe Farm College Program.
The main objective of the study is to generate timely data and insights for TechnoServe and coffee industry stakeholders on how coffee farming households that are part of their agronomy training program are affected by COVID-19 crisis and the consequent lockdown measures to address Covid-19. This will be useful for TechnoServe, to inform their programming including targeting interventions to areas that need them most and considering options for redirecting
resources from coffee agronomy to other types of training.
The results from this study will result in monthly briefs (not an academic study) that
demonstrate farmer’ knowledge of COVID-19 and how the lockdown measure may have
affected their farming activities including access to input, farms and markets.
