Uganda's coffee production is projected to grow to 6.88 million 60-kilogram bags in the 2025/26 marketing year, a 2.6% increase. This growth is fueled by favorable weather, improved seed varieties, and a national initiative offering farmers low-interest loans. Exports are estimated to reach 6.53 million bags, with the European Union remaining Uganda's largest coffee market. The domestic consumption is expected to increase slightly, yet exports remain the main growth vector, particularly during a time of high commodity prices. The impending dissolution of the Uganda Coffee Development Authority may impact future support services for the sector.
