Coffee

9 May, 2024

Coffee is grown in Uganda.  Recently there has been a shortage of coffee in the open-air market.  As a result, the price has increased by 30% and the sellers have started selling by the half kilogram instead of by the kilogram.

Meta just checked the prices in the market across the border (in D.R. Congo).  Unlike the coffee in the Ugandan open-air market, the coffee in the Congo market is not ground yet.  However, it is possible to purchase (with Ugandan currency) two kilograms for slightly less than what one kilogram (ground) now costs in Uganda.  Uganda is going to price themselves out of the coffee market if this continues.
