According to Monitor on June 5th, Uganda's coffee industry has experienced explosive growth, with its annual export revenue soaring nearly 95% year-on-year, reaching a historic high of 1.97 billion US dollars, driven by the continuous rise in international coffee prices. Compared to the $1.01 billion revenue of the same period in the previous fiscal year (May 2023 to April 2024), this growth demonstrates an astonishing upward trend in both price and quantity - despite a steady increase in total exports, price fluctuations in the international commodity market have contributed the main increase. According to authoritative statistics from the Coffee Development Bureau of the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock in Uganda, the monthly export volume in April 2025 reached 694318 bags (60 kilograms per bag), a year-on-year increase of 77.44%. The monthly revenue was 214.38 million US dollars, a sharp increase of 152.56% compared to the same period in 2024. This global price dividend stems from the extreme weather conditions experienced by Brazil and Vietnam, two major coffee producing countries, last year, which continued to put pressure on their supply chains. When major producing countries are deeply mired in production cuts, the strong demand and supply gap in the international market resonate, creating excellent market opportunities for coffee producing countries such as Uganda.
