Kenya’s coffee exports to Kuwait fetched the highest prices worldwide in the three months to June 2025, positioning the Gulf state as an unexpected premium market under the direct-sales window.

New data from the Agriculture and Food Authority (AFA) shows a single consignment to Kuwait traded at $2,706.88 (about Sh349,728) per 50 kilogramme bag, more than three-and-a-half times the peak price recorded in any market a year earlier.
