Coffee prices in Tanzania bucked the trend

Despite the negative economic impact of the outbreak in 2020, the price of coffee bucked the trend at an auction held on November 5th in the Tammoshi region, with a 50-kilogram bag of Arabic coffee selling for $133, compared with $117 a year earlier, the main newspaper Citizens reported on December 1.
Nyarusi, head of the Coffee Authority, said this year's outbreak had less of a impact on coffee, affecting only the shipment of goods to overseas markets, not the price of exports.
export price of a 50-kilogram bag of Arabic coffee was $116, meaning it was more expensive in the local market than it was exported.
he explained that the government's increased agricultural extension services had greatly improved the quality of coffee beans, but prices in the world market had fallen.
