Ugandan Coffee Market Analysis Shows Robusta Futures Gains Amid Global Supply Shifts
What happened
The Ministry of Agriculture, Animal Industry and Fisheries released a market analysis on November 2, 2026, detailing the Ugandan coffee sector. The report showed that Robusta coffee futures on the London International Financial Futures and Options Exchange gained, with the January 2027 contract closing at $3,204 per tonne. Meanwhile, Arabica contracts on the Intercontinental Exchange in New York posted mixed results, facing pressure from increased supplies from Brazil.

Why it matters
The market analysis indicates that Ugandan coffee farmers and traders are benefiting from firm local prices as Robusta futures rise internationally. The gains in Robusta prices are partially linked to improved growing conditions in Vietnam, which is a leading Robusta producer, suggesting potential future supply implications for the global market.
The state of Ugandan coffee production is being discussed amid agricultural development initiatives involving the Ministry of Agriculture, Animal Industry and Fisheries and the World Bank.
