Note: Data are for crop year starting in the given calendar year except the GDP deflator. Producer and export prices between 2004 and 2010 are estimates using the growth rates from the ICO and COMTRADE, series respectively. For the prior years, 1991–2003, these series show similar trends to the estimates from the Uganda Coffee Development Authority. GDP = gross domestic product; N/A = not applicable.

Deterioration of coffee quality, reported numerous times, appeared to be a temporal phenomenon only, since quality later recovered without loss of reputation (Ponte and Kawuma 2003, 45). And, unlike in many other sectors, no backtracking of reforms has taken place. Yet, despite the success of reforms, the sector did not perform as originally expected. During the past few years, coffee production has fluctuated around 3.5 million tons.

Currently, the UCDA is in charge of all regulatory aspects of the industry, including monitoring quality, enforcing regulations, collecting statistics, undertaking promotion efforts, and managing a coffee replanting program. Often, the UCDA’s functions are carried out in cooperation with other institutions with broader mandates (table 5.3). The UCDA is financed by a 1 percent levy imposed on all coffee exports.
