World Coffee Supplies in 2000/2001 Remain Near Last Year's Level
World production of coffee in 2000/2001 is forecast at a record 108.7 million bags (60 kilograms or 132.276 pounds), nearly 2 percent above last year's level and slightly above--570,000 bags--the previous record coffee crop in 1998/99. Brazil's coffee production for 2000/2001 is forecast at 28.1 million bags, up 4 percent from last year's level, but down over 20 percent from the 1998/99 production level of 35.6 million bags.
Total coffee exports from Brazil
in 2000/2001 are forecast to decline by nearly 8 percent from
1999/2000, mainly as a result of lower supplies. Brazil's exports
of coffee in 2000/2001 are forecast at 16.9 million bags, 15.0
million bags of green coffee and 1.9 million bags of soluble
coffee. However, mainly as a result of higher exports from other
key producing countries, total world exports of coffee in
2000/2001 are forecast down only slightly to 83.5 million bags,
compared with 83.8 million bags estimated for 1999/2000. Some key
upward changes in year-to-year exports include: Colombia, up
600,00 bags; India, up 400,000 bags; Uganda, up 330,000 bags;
Madagascar, up 228,000 bags; Guatemala, up 110,000 bags; Mexico,
up 100,000 bags; Zaire, up 100,000 bags; and Papua-New Guinea, up
100,000 bags.
