KAMPALA: Uganda exported 340,378 60-kilograame bags of coffee in September, up from 169,728 bags in the same month last year, a source at the state-run Uganda Coffee Development Authority (UCDA) said on Friday.
"Farmers and exporters are clearing their warehouses of old stocks to create room for a new crop and that explains the huge jump in exports.
Also the crop in the second half of this coffee year (Oct-Sep) matured under sufficient rains which made it good," the source at UCDA said.
