Costa Rica: Coffee Annual
Based on preliminary data, Costa Rica’s 2015/2016 coffee crop reached 1,654,617 60 kg. bags. Production was higher than previously estimated as a result of improved management practices in the plantations, coupled with favorable weather conditions. Production is expected to increase about 3 percent in 2016/2017 based on the initial strong flowering observed throughout the main production areas, and also as a result of ongoing investments by farmers in their plantations.
