“Dr. Lyamulemye was a pillar of Uganda’s coffee sector and played a key leadership role in the design and implementation of Uganda’s coffee roadmap, which led to the exponential growth of the industry. Under his leadership, Uganda strengthened its coffee quality standards, expanded farmer extension support systems, and positioned itself as one of the world’s most competitive coffee origins.
“He fought firmly in international coffee bodies and forums, demanding the correct classification of African coffees, including Uganda’s robusta and Ethiopia’s arabica. He was bold, firm, and intelligent. Together with other colleagues, he worked hard to open new coffee markets such as China,” Tumwebaze wrote.
“On behalf of @MAAIF_Uganda and the coffee stakeholder fraternity, and on my own behalf, I extend our heartfelt condolences to his family, colleagues, and friends. May his soul rest in eternal peace.”
Dr. Lyamulemye left his role at UCDA after the Authority was absorbed into the ministry following the passing of the National Coffee (Amendment) Bill, 2024.
In conclusion, here at our platform, we shall share with you the burial program of the late Dr. Emmanuel Lyamulemye, so keep following our platform for updates.
