The top price for Kenyan benchmark grade AA coffee rose to $510 per 50-kg bag from $480 per bag at the last sale a weeks ago, the Nairobi Coffee Exchange said on Wednesday. Kenya is a relatively small producer but its specialty coffee beans are renowned for their high quality and are much sought after for blending with those from other countries.
Grade AA fetched $510-$291 per bag compared with $480-$391 at the last sale, while its average price fell to $422.62 per bag from $446.14.
