context_page_description: The Bugisu Cooperative Union is a Ugandan agricultural cooperative federation, established in July 1954.
  It was started by a group of coffee farmers led by The Late EV.Samson Kitutu. A new Bugisu coffee ordinance was enacted in 1955 providing for BCU ltd to take over all the marketing functions from the Bugisu coffee scheme as well as all the scheme's assets except the reserve funds which were still held by Bugisu coffee board for more visit the website of bugisu cooperative union bugisucooperativeunion.com
context_section_description: BCU is owned by coffee farmers who are organised in primary societies. Each primary society keeps a register of its fully paid-up members who elect a committee, which manages society's affairs. Each Primary society is represented by two delegates at an Annual General Meeting. In addition to other functions the AGM elects Board members who in turn appoint and supervise the management team. BCU also operates according to International Co-operatives Principles.
