Indonesia coffee harvestexpected to fall 20% from record on El Nino
Jakarta
COFFEE production in Indonesia will probably drop 20 per cent next year from a record as the strongest El Nino in almost two decades hurts crops in the world's third-largest producer of robusta beans.
The harvest may slide to 560,000 tonnes in the year starting April 1 from 700,000 tonnes this year, going by the median of estimates from six traders and analysts compiled by Bloomberg. That would be the steepest decline since the 2006-07 season, according to US Department of Agriculture (USDA) data.
