Mexico: Coffee Annual
The Post/New marketing year (MY) 2016/17 forecast for coffee production is 2.3 million 60/kg bags. The Post/New MY 2015/16 total production estimate was revised downward to 2.2 million 60/kg bags due to coffee rust outbreaks affecting plantations. Coffee exports for MY 2015/16 and 2016/17 are expected to be lower compared to MY 2014/15, due to rust-related declines in production. Conversely, coffee imports for MY 2015/16 and 2016/17 are expected to increase to meet domestic demand.
