Kenya exported 6,447 tonnes of coffee at a price of Kshs 750,543 per tonne, translating to inflows of Kshs 4.83 billion in the month of May 2023. The country’s coffee production rose significantly by 50.2% to 51,853 tonnes in 2021/22, up from 34,512 tonnes recorded the previous year. This surge in coffee production is attributed to various factors, including favourable weather conditions, improved farming practices, and government initiatives aimed at supporting the coffee sector.

The surge in coffee exports is a positive sign for Kenya’s economy, as coffee remains one of the country’s principal foreign exchange-earners. With increased export revenue, the government will have additional resources to invest in critical sectors, such as healthcare, education, and infrastructure, ultimately leading to overall socio-economic development.
