Coffee prices at the Nairobi auction declined by 17.3 per cent in this week’s sales, weighed down by low quality berries as the main harvest season comes to a close.

A market report from Nairobi Coffee Exchange (NCE) indicates that a 50 kilogramme bag of coffee was sold at Sh26,059 this week, down from Sh31,518 in the previous sale.
