Uganda: Coffee Annual
FAS/Nairobi forecasts a decrease in Uganda’s coffee production in the marketing year (MY) 2016/2017 to 3.7 million bags from a record 4.5 million bags production in the MY 2015/2016 due to the effects of biennial bearing cycle. Exports are forecast to remain flat and stocks to increase due to the recent coffee import restrictions in the Sudan. Uganda Coffee Development Authority (UCDA) continues to implement an ambitious Government of Uganda (GOU) sponsored program with the goal of increasing planted area and yields.
