What We Do
Uganda is Africa's largest coffee exporter and the world's 8th largest coffee producer. Yet accessing reliable, current Uganda coffee price data has historically required navigating UCDA's Drupal website, downloading PDF reports, and manually compiling spreadsheets. We automate that process.
Every morning, our systems check UCDA's published auction results and price data. We structure that data, present it in readable dashboards, and provide export-focused calculators that turn raw price data into actionable FOB pricing, margin estimates, and container load plans.
The site launched in 2026 and is maintained as a public resource. All tools are free to use. No account required. No paywalls.
Why Free?
Public data should be publicly accessible. UCDA publishes coffee price data as a public service to Uganda's coffee sector. Our role is making that data easier to find, read, and use. The coffee export sector already faces enough costs, data access should not be one of them.
We may introduce premium features (custom alerts, API access, downloadable historical datasets) in the future, but the core price dashboards, calculators, and reference tools will always remain free.
