Uganda's coffee exports flat in April from a year-ago period

KAMPALA: Uganda's coffee exports were little-changed last month from a year ago, the state-run sector regulator Uganda Coffee Development Authority (UCDA) said in a report seen on Monday without giving reasons for the stagnation in output.

According to the report Uganda exported 306,315 60-Kilogram bags of coffee in April, slightly up from 295,194 bags shipped in same period a year ago.

Uganda is Africa's largest exporter of the beans and also heavily relies on them as a source of foreign exchange.
