Rwanda’s earnings from this year’s Internet coffee auction rose significantly to $301,771 (about Rwf212.7 million) compared to Rwf159.3 million ($225,970) realised at last year’s auction from 16 lots. This year, 28 lots of coffee, or 15,200 kilogrammes of the green beans category, were sold via the Alliance for Coffee Excellence (ACE), a New York-based website. A kilogramme went for a maximum of $81 compared to $45 last year. Eighty-six companies from 18 countries across the world participated in the auction held at the National Agricultural Exports Board (Naeb) offices in Kigali on Wednesday. newtimes.co.rw/section/article/2014-10-03/181547/
