Coffee Price.
Coffee was born in Ethiopia, and Africa still grows roughly an eighth of the world's beans — yet most African coffee is exported green, so the price the grower receives tracks a global benchmark set far away. Mansa Markets follows that benchmark alongside the African production story behind it.

Frequently Asked
Coffee FAQ
Which African countries produce the most coffee?
Ethiopia is Africa's largest coffee producer and the birthplace of arabica, followed by Uganda (mostly robusta), Côte d'Ivoire, Tanzania and Kenya. Together they make Africa a meaningful share of global supply.
What is the difference between arabica and robusta?
Arabica is the higher-value, milder bean grown at altitude (Ethiopia, Kenya); robusta is hardier, more caffeinated and grown at lower elevations (Uganda, Côte d'Ivoire). The two trade on separate global benchmarks.
Are these coffee prices real-time?
No — this is the global benchmark layer, labelled with its source and cadence, not a tick-by-tick feed.
