“Uganda Coffee Report: Production, Trade, and Consumption All Rising – USDA FAS Annual Report Highlights”
Are you a coffee enthusiast looking for the next big thing in the coffee world? Look no further than Uganda! According to the latest report from the USDA Foreign Agriculture Service, Uganda’s coffee production, trade, and consumption are all on the rise in 2024.
Production is expected to increase by 1.44%, with robusta coffee accounting for 63% of the production increase. This shift in production is due to better crop management and improved yields, showcasing the country’s commitment to quality coffee. What’s even more exciting is that Uganda’s coffee industry is fully liberalized, allowing for direct transactions between farmers and traders.
In terms of domestic consumption, coffee culture is growing rapidly in Uganda, with the number of coffee shops increasing exponentially over the past decade. The Uganda Coffee Development Authority actively promotes coffee consumption, contributing to the rising popularity of coffee in the country.
When it comes to trade, Uganda’s green coffee exports are expected to rise slightly in 2024, with the EU, United States, Morocco, and India remaining the main export destinations. To comply with the new EU deforestation-free products law, the Ugandan government is planning to register all coffee farmers and establish a national traceability system.
