Leaf rust is a fungi coffee disease that affects the coffee leaves, turning them from green to pale-yellow on the surface and orange beneath.
Consequently, premium coffee parchments has risen to sh6,500 per kilogramme, from sh5,000 last September, while ordinary coffee is sh5,000, from sh4,800. However, Bugisu Co-operative Union is purchasing parchments at sh5,500 per kilogramme.
Patrick Nabisi from the Bugisu Co-operative Union attributed the scarcity to the reduced coffee production. Nabisi argued that whereas the demand for coffee is consistent, coffee farmers are not planting new trees to increase production.
“Farmers are maintaining the old trees from where they harvest every year. With each passing year, productivity fall,” Nabisi explained.
