KIGALI, Rwanda — Ugandan coffee exporter Lusha Coffee has been awarded the Best Exhibitor Award at the Africa Coffee & Tea Expo 2026, one of the continent’s leading business events dedicated to the coffee and tea industries.

The recognition celebrates the company’s outstanding exhibition, professional presentation, and commitment to showcasing the quality and potential of Ugandan coffee to an international audience. The expo brought together coffee producers, exporters, buyers, roasters, investors, policymakers, and industry stakeholders from across Africa and beyond, creating a platform for trade, networking, and business development.

For Lusha Coffee, the award represents an important milestone in its mission to connect premium East African coffee with global markets while highlighting Uganda’s growing reputation as a producer of high-quality Arabica and Robusta coffee.

Throughout the three-day event, the Lusha Coffee exhibition stand attracted a steady stream of visitors interested in learning about the company’s sourcing practices, quality assurance processes, export capabilities, and commitment to building long-term relationships with coffee buyers around the world.

The company’s exhibition showcased coffees sourced directly from trusted farming communities in Uganda’s renowned Mount Elgon and Rwenzori regions, areas recognized for producing distinctive coffees that continue to earn appreciation in international markets.

Beyond presenting its products, Lusha Coffee used the opportunity to share its story as a licensed Ugandan coffee exporter managing every stage of the supply chain—from sourcing and grading to export documentation and international logistics. The exhibition highlighted the company’s focus on consistency, traceability, and reliable delivery, values that continue to define its operations.

Winning the Best Exhibitor Award reflects not only the quality of Lusha Coffee’s presentation but also the professionalism, preparation, and customer-focused approach demonstrated throughout the expo. The recognition further reinforces the company’s growing presence within Africa’s coffee export industry and its commitment to representing Uganda on the global stage.

The Africa Coffee & Tea Expo provided an opportunity for meaningful engagement between Lusha Coffee and international coffee buyers, specialty roasters, importers, distributors, equipment suppliers, and other industry professionals. These interactions created valuable opportunities to strengthen existing relationships while opening the door to new commercial partnerships across international markets.

As demand for premium African coffee continues to grow, events such as the Africa Coffee & Tea Expo play an increasingly important role in connecting producers with global buyers. For companies like Lusha Coffee, participation extends beyond exhibiting products—it provides a platform to demonstrate expertise, build trust, and showcase the quality that distinguishes Ugandan coffee.

The recognition also shines a spotlight on the farmers whose dedication makes every export possible. By working directly with trusted farming communities, Lusha Coffee continues to promote sustainable sourcing practices while ensuring that exceptional coffee reaches customers around the world.

Looking ahead, the company intends to build on the momentum generated at the expo by expanding its international partnerships and continuing to supply premium Ugandan Arabica and Robusta coffee to roasters and buyers seeking reliable, traceable, and consistently high-quality coffee.
