Herbert joined LDC\u2019s Coffee Research team in 2020. <\/p>\n
Having grown up as part of a farming community in Kamuli district, in the Eastern part of Uganda, Herbert always wanted to find a profession that would keep him close to this community, helping farmers improve their livelihoods, crop yields and quality, and the efficiency of their activities. <\/p>\n
At LDC Uganda, he oversees the implementation of various sustainability projects supporting farmers to improve their coffee yields, incomes and food security for the long-term. He is also in charge of conducting crop surveys around coffee growing regions in the country, interacting with farmers and gathering relevant market information and updates for the business. <\/p>\n
Herbert appreciates the flat structure at LDC, which means employees can interact easily, no matter their seniority. <\/p>\n
He believes his role at LDC gives him the opportunity to grow his experience in the field. <\/p>\n
\u201cThe dynamic, competitive and demanding environment requires us to be innovative to manage different challenges, and in parallel LDC invests continually in developing our knowledge and skills.\u201d <\/p>\n"},"user_details":{"name":"Herbert","role":"Junior Agronomist, Coffee Platform ","location":"Kampala, Uganda"},"signposts":[{"background":false,"title":"Interested in finding a similar role to Vinayak?","link":""},{"background":false,"title":"Interested in finding a similar role to Vinayak?","link":""}],"youtube_url":"","youtube_poster_image":false,"youtube_play_title":""},"yoast_head":"\n
