Mexico: Coffee Annual

Mexico coffee production for marketing year (MY) 2022/23 is projected at 3.84 million 60 kg/bags, on optimal weather conditions during the fruit development stage in the top producing states that will improve yields, and sustained strong global prices that will incentivize optimal harvest. Although production is forecast up slightly, producers are unable to take full advantage of heightened prices to further increase production due to consistently rising input prices, including fertilizers, fungicides, and lower available labor. The increased costs of purchasing basic food commodities and continued economic uncertainty are likely to dampen efforts to increase domestic coffee consumption.
