Ecuador: Coffee Annual
During Market Year (MY) 2016/17 (April/March), domestic bean production continued declining. We forecast production to increase in MY 2017/18 as a result of public expenditures to revitalize the coffee sector. Coffee exports in MY 2016/17 did not decline as much as previously anticipated. Germany and Russia were Ecuador’s top two markets for its exports of soluble coffee products. Trade is expected to decline in MY 2017/18.
