KEMPALA, April 5 , 2011 - Uganda exported 223,099, 60-kg bags of coffee in March this year, up from 217,809 bags exported in the same month last year, a source at Uganda Coffee Development Authority (UCDA) said on Tuesday.
The rise follows four straight months of export declines that were caused by drought and diseases in Africa's second largest grower.
"There is a noticeable increase in farm gate prices, which we think encouraged farmers to release bigger amounts from their stocks," a source at UCDA told Reuters.******
