India: Coffee Annual
India’s MY 2015/16 coffee crop (Oct/Sep) is forecast at 5.17 million 60 kg bags as poor blossom showers lowered yield prospects of both Arabica and Robusta. Coffee growing regions in Southern India continue to struggle with insufficient rain. Exports in 2016/17 are forecast just over 5 million 60 kg bags. Domestic consumption shows signs of marginal improvement on a low per capita basis. Carryover stocks are expected to keep domestic prices in check.
