TechnoServe, June 18, 2015: the country’s first coffee export in 2013 (1.8 t of green coffee by air to Nespresso), then 10 t of parchment coffee by road to Uganda in July 2014; three cooperatives registered in the Yei region; no total national production published. The country appears in the FAOSTAT file but with no coffee value.

- No annual series: impossible to say whether production is rising or falling.
- The source often describes a single farm or association, not a whole territory.
