Kenyan coffee farmers are experiencing a significant boost in earnings, with auction prices surging by over Ksh3,700 per 50kg bag in the latest sale, largely attributed to ongoing coffee sector reforms. This increase saw total earnings jump from Ksh368.5 million to Ksh556 million.

• The average price for coffee reached Ksh44,243 per 50kg bag at the Nairobi Coffee Exchange.
• A total of 10,099 bags of coffee were traded in the recent auction.
• The price surge comes amid a seven-week high for Arabica and Robusta global coffee prices, influenced by factors like erratic weather in major producing countries and shifting consumer demand.
