Kenyan Coffee Supplies Decline – Prices Rise

1 September 2009 in News

The Nairobi Coffee Exchange has reported that Kenya’s average coffee price rose 4.4% at an auction earlier today, after supplies of the beans declined amid strong demand.

$178.17 was the average price for a 50-kilogram (110-pound) bag, up from $170.58 on August 26. The top AA grade fell 1.3% to an average of $210.50 a bag (from $213.28 last week), after the quality of the grade declined. Supplies of the grade fell 51.8% to 597 bags.

Prices have reportedly edged higher because the supply is tight, and speculation is rife that there is little coffee available in the country. A drought has affected the size and volume of available beans.

Have you ever tried Kenyan coffee?

We often get asked the question, “where do you get your restaurant equipment and supplies?” The simple answer is that we use Wasserstrom restaurant supplies. Headquartered in Columbus, Ohio, they are the world’s leading restaurant supplier and distributor of food service equipment and supplies. We like them because of the wide range of products that they offer (everything and anything related to restaurant equipment and supplies), and because they are quite efficient with our orders and have fulfilled most of our previous orders within two business days.

Your restaurant supply needs will likely be best filled by a company that caters to the specific needs of every customer, regardless of size, and for us as a single independent coffee house / restaurant, we’ve found that they’ll work diligently to provide us with the products and supplies that we need. If you want to try them out, be sure to check out their customized catalogs, excellent management reports, and 24/7 Internet ordering at wasserstrom.com. Check ‘em out!
