COFFEE exports in the first four months of the current coffee year jumped by 3.6% and 25% in volume and value respectively.
A monthly report from the Uganda Coffee Development Authority said exports during the period stood at 1,005,834 bags worth $107.86m.
A total of $39.73m was earned from 360,875 bags exported last month, up by 14.15% and 40% in volume and value respectively amid disruptions in delivery due to the post-election violence in Kenya.
The unit export price averaged 183 cents per kilo, which was 3 cents higher than the previous month.
Robusta accounted for 326,466 bags of the total exports last month while Arabica stood at 34,409 bags.
