Kenya: Coffee Annual
FAS/Nairobi forecasts Kenya's coffee production to increase to 700 thousand bags in the marketing year (MY) 2016/2017 after a decrease in 2015/2016 that is attributed to the El Nino weather conditions. Production in newly planted and rehabilitated smallholder areas is expected to be balanced by the loss of production in large plantations in the suburbs of Nairobi due to encroachment by housing developments.
