KAMPALA: Uganda's coffee export rose to 244,319 bags of 60 kg each in February from 193,965 bags shipped in the same month a year ago, a source at the state-run Uganda Coffee Development Authority (UCDA), told Reuters on Wednesday.
Ranked as east Africa's third-largest economy, Uganda was Africa's leading exporter of the beans last year, according to statistics from the International Coffee Organisation (ICO).
Earnings from the beans are a key source of foreign exchange for Uganda, which primarily cultivates the robusta variety.
