Bugisu has been recognized as the finest coffee beans production area in the global coffee market. There are hundreds of small coffee farms, maybe individual farmers, cultivating on the western side slope of Mt. Elgon, This lot is delivered from 49 micro farms on the west slope of Mt. Elgon which cultivate naturally.
A green beans broker emphasized "Natural farming", pesticides and chemical fertilizer free farming, as the recognized point of this beans. However, this is cynic. Any chemical farming "aids" have brought by the people, countries, that the brokers are selling the cultivation. Both natural and organic farming were "usual" for the farmers in Bugisu, but now it seems "usual" has changed to the industrialized farming style.
