Uganda coffee sector exports 20 percent in this first quarter of 2017 to 2,054 tonnes from 1,187 tonnes in the same period last season. Coffee arrivals at the country's two main ports fell 13 percent in the first quarter of this year to 95,898 tonnes compared with last season at the same point.
Between 1990 and 2000, the country produced about 3,000 tonnes of robusta to be in Africa's top producer list. Production fell to around 1,000 per season in the years of political turmoil that followed, in part because of a slump in the global price.
