Uganda is Africa’s biggest coffee exporter. According to the Uganda Coffee Development Authority, its shipment climbed to a record level in June on better yield from new trees, favourable weather and improved prices.
The Kenya shilling and Rwanda franc were ranked 11th and 12th among top African currencies depreciating at -2.93 percent and -3.48 percent, respectively.
