Kenya’s coffee earnings in the 11 months to August 2022 increased by Sh9.8 billion ($81 million) boosted by higher volumes and better prices in the international market on the back of a shortfall in supply from leading producer Brazil.

Data from the Nairobi Coffee Exchange (NCE) shows returns in the period hit Sh25.2 billion ($210 million) compared to Sh15.5 billion ($129 million) in the 11 months to August 2021.
