Kenyan coffee prices rose slightly at Tuesday's auction helped by a shortage as the marketing season comes to an end, exporters said. The average price at the weekly sale rose to $96 per 50-kg bag from $90.21 at last Tuesday's auction.
Only some 2,500 60-kg bags of the 18,315 offered were unsold, according to the Nairobi Coffee Exchange (NCE). The weekly auction closes for a month-long annual break over August.
