The value of coffee sold at the Nairobi Coffee Exchange (NCE) has increased by 93.4 percent in the first seven auctions of the 2024-25 marketing season, driven by higher volumes.

Coffee buyers have purchased cherries worth $22.8 million (Sh2.94 billion) through the auctions that resumed last month, nearly double the $11.8 million (Sh1.52 billion) they bought during a similar period last year.
