Kenya: Coffee Annual

FAS Nairobi forecasts a 12 percent jump in Kenya's coffee production to 950,000 60-kilogram (kg) bags in the Marketing Year (MY) 2026/27, due new harvested area, and improved crop care following two years of high prices. Exports are expected to reach 940,000 bags, while domestic consumption is likely to stay flat due to reduced purchasing power and the disruption of urban coffee culture. Kenya's coffee sector is also entering a new regulatory environment following the enactment of a new Coffee Act of 2026 that shifts regulatory oversight to a re-established Coffee Board of Kenya.
