Uganda has announced a two-year suspension of its membership from the International Coffee Organisation (ICO) in attempt to pressurise the organisation to address its concerns as a coffee producing country.
Uganda has been trading its coffee under the 2007 ICO agreement, which stakeholders say does not favour farmers and other players.
