Brazil, the world’s biggest coffee producer, is expected to harvest 45.6 million 60-kg bags of coffee in the upcoming 2015/16 crop, according to Wolthers Douque, a U.S.-based green coffee importer.
That represents a 3.1 percent increase compared with a year earlier, Reuters reported.
Trade house estimates gathered by Reuters for Brazil’s 2015/16 coffee output range from 44 million bags to 49.75 million bags.
“Plants looked quite lush and strong throughout the entire arabica regions, even the very high amount of pruned trees after last year’s drought looked rejuvenated and ready to flower next October,” the Wolthers Douque’s report stated.
