Ugandan Coffee Prices Stabilize After Months Of Decline – CoffeeTalk

Uganda’s coffee prices have rebounded after months of decline, with farm-gate rates stabilizing between $3.66 and $3.94 USD per kilogram. The recovery is attributed to quality assurance measures and renewed international demand. Agriculture Minister Frank Tumwebaze confirmed that farm-gate prices for coffee have stabilized, with a kilogram of Fair Average Quality (FAQ) beans now selling between $3.66 and $3.94, while Arabica parchment fetches between $3.80 and $3.94. The recovery follows a slump earlier this year caused by global oversupply from major producers such as Brazil, Vietnam, and India, which depressed international prices. The government urged farmers to maintain high standards during harvesting, drying, and processing to protect Uganda’s reputation as a premium coffee producer.

Maintaining strict quality standards is essential for safeguarding Uganda’s reputation in the global coffee market, where demand for premium beans is rising amid stiff competition.
