Coffee prices fell by three percent during this week’s auction, records show, hurt by lower-quality produce offers by producers.

Data by the Nairobi Coffee Exchange (NCE) indicates that the price of the commodity dropped to Sh33,440 on average per 50-kilogramme bag when compared with Sh34,430 that it fetched in the previous sale.
