KAMPALA (Reuters) - Uganda's coffee exports rose 76 percent in the year to April, boosted by better weather in key coffee growing regions, a source at the state-run Uganda Coffee Development Authority (UCDA) said on Friday.
The UCDA source said Uganda exported 248,749 60-kg bags of coffee in April, a jump from 141,220 bags shipped in the same period last year.
"South and Southwestern regions experienced goods rains when the crop that is now in harvest was in its development stage and that really has been key in the big surge in exports," the UCDA source told Reuters.
