Colombia: Coffee Annual

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

Colombia coffee production exceeded expectations as El Niño weather phenomena impacts were minimal in volume produced, although quality of beans in the mitaca harvest may be affected. The revised post estimate for MY 2015/2016 is 13.6 million bags (1 bag = 60 kilograms unless otherwise noted) green bean equivalent (GBE), up from the previous estimate of 13.4 million bags GBE. Production is forecast to decrease in MY 2016/17 to 13.3 million bags GBE due to the potentially heavy rains from La Niña take hold in 2016.
