Ecuador: Coffee Annual
Link to report:
Planted area continues to decline, particularly in coastal regions. However, production per hectare continues to grow. The export of soluble coffee represents 95 percent of total exports. This soluble coffee is comprised of about 50 percent of imported raw material. Exports of specialty coffee beans continue to increase due to changes in crop management and marketing strategies. The current challenge, in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, is the ability to harvest the expected volumes.
