How often are Uganda coffee prices updated?

What is the difference between robusta and arabica prices?
Arabica typically trades at a premium to robusta. As of June 2026, Bugisu AA (arabica) trades at ~252 US cents/kg while Screen 18 (robusta) trades at ~179 US cents/kg -- a ~73 US cent premium for arabica. This spread reflects arabica's superior cup quality, lower caffeine, and higher demand from specialty roasters.
What drives Uganda coffee prices up or down?
Five main factors: (1) ICE futures -- London for robusta, New York for arabica; (2) global supply from Vietnam (robusta) and Brazil (arabica); (3) local harvest volumes and weather in Uganda's coffee regions; (4) the UGX/USD exchange rate since coffee trades in dollars; (5) EUDR compliance premiums for traceable, deforestation-free lots.
