India Lowers Coffee Production Forecast Due to Below-Normal Monsoon Rains
India's Coffee Board has lowered its production forecast for the fiscal year ending March to about 380,000 metric tons, down from an earlier estimate of over 400,000 tons, due to below-normal monsoon rains affecting crops. Karnataka, the main producing state, is particularly impacted. India exports around 70% of its coffee, mostly robusta beans, so reduced output may tighten export supplies and raise prices. Globally, supplies from Brazil and Vietnam are improving, which could pressure prices. The outlook for the 2027-28 crop depends on upcoming winter rainfall.
