COFFEE shipments from Indonesia, the third-biggest producer, will probably extend their decline in 2015 as domestic consumption increases in the world's fourth most populous nation.
Overseas sales will tumble about 10 per cent after dropping as much as 15 per cent in 2014 from 480,000 tonnes last year, according to Irfan Anwar, chairman of the Association of Indonesian Coffee Exporters and Industries. Local demand will climb to about 350,000 tonnes in 2015 from 300,000 tonnes this year and 260,000 tonnes in 2013, he said in an interview.
