Speaking on Tayari West TV, Africa Coffee Park CEO Dr. Nelson Tugume set out what the park has meant for the area immediately around it.
Three years ago a house nearby could be rented for roughly UGX 20,000 a month. Today the cheapest is around UGX 150,000. That is a blunt measure, and it cuts both ways — but it is the clearest available signal that economic activity has arrived in Rwashameire.
The wider point: Africa Coffee Park is not only adding value to coffee. It is adding value to the local economy through jobs, business and opportunity — supported by infrastructure at a scale the district has not seen before, including the more than 60 MW of power now serving the park.
