Indonesia: Coffee Semi-annual
Indonesian coffee production is expected to decline in the 2016/17 marketing year as the result of dry weather conditions in late 2015. El Nino conditions in 2015 are being countered with wet La Nina conditions in 2016/17. Post expects continued wet weather into early/mid 2017, providing some relief from the excessive dryness of the 2015 El Nino event. Post expects Indonesian coffee exports to decline due to growing consumption and low productivity in 2016/17. Trade data shows green bean shipments for the 2016 January-May period dropped 33 percent to 117 thousand MT, compared to 177 thousand MT in 2015.
