首届“乌干达–中国咖啡宣传之旅”正式落幕 下
The First "Uganda-China Coffee Promotion Tour" Officially Concludes
(Part 2)
首届“乌干达–中国咖啡宣传之旅”于5月20日正式落幕，闭幕活动在坎帕拉Mestil酒店举行的一场高级别投资与贸易会议上圆满结束，来自两国的利益相关者齐聚一堂，共同探讨咖啡产业双边合作的未来路径。
The inaugural Uganda–China Coffee Awareness Tour has officially concluded on 20th , May with a high-level investment and trade conference held at Mestil Hotel, Kampala, bringing together stakeholders from both nations to chart a way forward for bilateral cooperation in the coffee industry.
整个活动贯穿了三大核心主题：
Three central themes echoed throughout the event:
1.经济影响 —— 咖啡仍是乌干达的首要外汇来源，养活着数百万小农户。推动与中国的直接贸易将提高农户收入并减少中间环节的高成本。
1. Economic Impact – Coffee remains Uganda’s top foreign exchange earner and supports millions of smallholder farmers. Streamlining direct trade with China will improve farmers’ incomes and cut out costly middlemen.
2. 增值投资 —— 中国在加工和包装技术方面的投资将帮助乌干达提升产业链地位，从出口中获取更高附加值。
2. Investment in Value Addition – Chinese investment in processing and packaging technology can help Uganda move up the value chain and capture more value from its exports.
3. 文化交流与外交 —— 此次宣传之旅加深了人民之间的联系，代表团参访了伊贡戈文化中心和锡皮瀑布，展示了咖啡在乌干达传统中的重要地位。
3. Cultural Exchange and Diplomacy – The tour fostered deepened people-to-people ties, with stops at the Igongo Cultural Centre and Sipi Falls showing how coffee is embedded in Uganda’s heritage.
张大使表示：“这次宣传之旅不仅是贸易的起点，更为建立信任、友谊和合作机遇奠定了基础。”
“This tour has laid a foundation for more than trade—it has created trust, friendship, and opportunity,” said Ambassador Zhang.
会议还强调了“乌干达2040愿景”及其加入非洲大陆自由贸易区（AfCFTA）等关键框架在发挥国家农业潜力中的重要作用。
Uganda’s Vision 2040 and membership in the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) were also spotlighted as critical frameworks for leveraging the country’s agricultural potential.
巴吉雷补充道：“在AfCFTA框架下可触达12亿人口，加之政府坚定推进农业工业化、旅游业、信息通信技术和矿产开发，乌干达蕴藏着巨大投资机会。”
“With access to over 1.2 billion people under AfCFTA, and a government committed to agro-industrialization, tourism, ICT, and mineral development, Uganda offers vast investment opportunities,” Bagiire added.
随着首届“乌干达–中国咖啡宣传之旅”圆满落幕，两国均表示将致力于保持合作势头。未来将展开更多合资项目、知识交流和贸易扩展。
As the curtains fall on the 1st Uganda–China Coffee Awareness Tour, both countries have expressed commitment to sustaining the momentum. Future joint ventures, knowledge exchange, and increased trade volumes are on the horizon.
正如多位发言人所言，本周播下的种子，有望在未来发展为一段繁荣的咖啡合作关系，长期惠及乌干达农民与中国消费者。
Indeed, as several speakers observed, the seeds planted this past week could very well grow into a flourishing coffee partnership that benefits both Ugandan farmers and Chinese consumers for years to come.
