Guatemala: Coffee Annual

Guatemala’s coffee planted area remains steady at 305,000 (hectares) Ha but may shrink slightly in the middle term as other more profitable crops are starting to substitute some coffee areas. High fertilizer costs and lack of labor are negatively impacting MY 2023/2024 harvest, forecast to reduce three percent to 3.43 million 60-Kg bags compared to MY 2021/2022 harvest, and one percent for MY 2022/2023 estimate of 3.48 million 60-Kg bags. Exports in MY 2021/2022 dropped ten percent and are forecast to drop an additional six percent in MY 2023/2024. Production costs increased 60 percent and few farmers can afford specialized labor to identify and harvest only red mature cherries, reducing overall quality.
