Coffee Trading

---

Ethiopia and Uganda are the leading coffee producers in East Africa, accounting for 62% of sub-Saharan Africa’s coffee output¹. Other notable producers include Kenya, Tanzania, and Rwanda¹.

The global demand for coffee is rising, with significant consumption in Europe, North America, and emerging markets like China¹. This growing demand presents a lucrative opportunity for East African coffee exporters¹.

There are opportunities to add value by setting up direct-to-market sales channels, roasting, packaging, and marketing coffee locally³. This can help boost the income of local farmers and tap into the largely untapped local markets³.

Investments are also being directed towards training farmers in sustainable production techniques and good agronomy practices to improve crop resilience and profitability².
