Owing to favourable green harvests and effective stock maintenance earlier in the year, prices in Tanzania and Rwanda have remained stable or moderately lower by 0.1% and 7.8% respectively, with prices reaching USD 1,021/MT and USD 703/MT, with the latter being the lowest prices in the region by far.

Similarly, Kenya recorded a modest month-on-month decrease by 1.7% to USD 1,453/MT, though it still holds the highest bean price in the region, attributed to both domestic and export demand in the region.

In contrast, Uganda recorded a modest 1% increase in bean prices month-on-month, partly attributed to currency appreciation, but also to limited domestic supply.
