Coffee Trade

Description: This trade focuses on the Uganda Coffee market. Coffee Arabica is believed to be the first species of coffee to be cultivated and is currently the dominant cultivar, representing about 60% of global production.[2] Coffee produced from the (less acidic, more bitter, and more highly caffeinated) robusta bean (C. canephora) makes up most of the remaining coffee production. 1. The market for coffee is assured & sustainable in Uganda. 2. The demand for good quality coffee is increasing. 3. Currently, global demand for coffee approx. 151 million bags against 148 million bags in exports, signifying a deficit of 3 million bags. 4. Uganda has an opportunity to benefit from increasing both the volume and quality of its coffee to supply this increasing demand(1). Source: 1.
