El Salvador: Coffee Annual

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

El Salvador’s coffee production is expected to decrease to 501,000 sixty-kg bags in 2015/16 (October 2015 - September 2016), the second lowest harvest on record in the past two years. This production downturn is mainly due to a continued attack of Coffee Leaf Rust (CLR), a drought caused by El Niño weather phenomenon and low international prices that affect investment capacity of local farmers. The 2016/17 crop is expected to reach 608,000 sixty-kg bags, however this will ultimately depend on how the rainy season unfolds since El Niño has already caused a delay in normal rain levels.
