Coffee production and exports in Uganda are each estimated to increase by approximately 4% this market year (2023/24), largely due to favorable weather and the maturation of coffee trees planted prior to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Uganda’s overall production has been revised upward to a record-high level of approximately 6.85 million 60-kilo bags, with arabica production holding steady at approximately 1 million bags. The increase in robusta production is attributed to largely favorable weather conditions, as well as the fruit-bearing maturation of robusta trees that were planted in 2019.
