Clonal coffee nursery owners in Masaka and Ssembabule districts have said that the Uganda Coffee Development Authority has not paid them for the clones they have been producing for the last two years.
Some 56 nursery owners said during a meeting in Masaka town on Tuesday that UCDA owes each of them money ranging from Shs 1 million to Shs 18 million.
Their leader Joseph Ssebatta said state minister for Agriculture Kibirige Ssebunya and the UCDA Managing Director Ngabirano in May 2002 told them told them to make Robusta coffee clones to supply to coffee farmers and that UCDA would pay them.
