India: Coffee Annual
India’s MY 2018/19 coffee crop (Oct/Sep) is forecast at 5.5 million 60-kg bags as erratic rains and unusually high temperatures touched coffee growing regions. Domestic consumption is forecast higher with growth attributed to soluble coffee consumption. MY 2018/19 exports are forecast lower after strong MY 2017/18 numbers due to smaller carryover stocks and uncertainty with the future of the export incentive scheme.
