If provided with assistance like a communal coffee village, would you be willing to engage in coffee farming?

Background

In May this year, Uganda was the biggest exporter of coffee in Africa, but the country also has a high unemployment rate.

In article published in the New Vision In August 2014,  Makerere University Proffessor, Samuel Kyamanywa, launched a coffee village initiative in Kibaale, engaging  100 youth to plant 500 coffee trees. The youth were equipped with modern farming skills and the coffee village will serve as a center of research for those who want to practice modern coffee farming. The project will help the youth with a source of livelihood.

It is hoped that this project will revive coffee farming, which has suffered due to outbreaks of coffee wilt disease. Kibaale was among the most affected areas.
