At least three-thirds Uganda’s coffee is exported by just 10 companies, according to Uganda Coffee Development Authority (UCDA).

Data contained in the monthly UCDA Coffee Report indicates that Uganda has at least 61 coffee exporters, but the majority export under 1 percent of the country’s coffee.

Over the years, just 10 companies have dominated Uganda’s coffee exports, locking out new competition from participating in the trading of Uganda’s second-largest export commodity.
