KAFFEE DUNGEON

KAFFEE DUNGEON is rated 3 out of 5 in the category food & beverages. Read and write reviews about KAFFEE DUNGEON. I present the structure and performance of Kaffee Dungeon in Uganda, One of Africa’s most important coffee processor and exporter, over the period 20013 to 2017. We find an evolving policy environment leading to structural changes in the export sector, including an elimination of vertical integration for most exporters. Kaffee Dungeon’s earnings improved dramatically over this period, i.e. a four-fold real increase. This has mostly been due to increases in international market prices. Quality improved only slightly over time, but the quantity exported increased by 50 percent, seemingly explained by increased domestic supplies as well as reduced local consumption. To further improve export performance, investments to increase the quantities produced and to improve quality are needed, including an increase in washing, certification, and traceability, as these characteristics are shown to be associated with significant quality premiums in international markets.
