Severe congestion at the Port of Mombasa is threatening East Africa’s coffee trade, with global supplier Sucafina warning of missed shipments and rising costs. The company says truck delays and customs bottlenecks have disrupted cargo handovers, leaving vessels stranded and supply chains at risk of prolonged disruption.
In its weekly business report, the company cautioned that if congestion persists and customs processing does not stabilise soon, regional supply chains—particularly in the coffee sector—could face prolonged disruption and rising costs.
