Costa Rica: Coffee Annual
Based on preliminary data, Costa Rica’s MY 2017/2018 coffee crop reached 1,510,000 60 kg. bags. Coffee production was 11.4 percent higher as compared to the MY 2016/2017 coffee crop. Higher production was the result of the high year in the production cycle of the main production area of Los Santos. Weather conditions were also favorable throughout the coffee growing regions. Production is forecast to decline by approximately 10 percent in MY 2018/2019 based on the biannual cycle, which is expected to result in lower production in the Central and Western Central Valley areas.
