Mexico Coffee Annual 2013
Report Highlights:
Mexico is suffering from an outbreak of coffee rust, though the impact is not as drastic as that seen in Central American countries. The Post/New marketing year (MY) 2013/14 coffee production forecast is 3.8 million bags. The MY 2012/13 estimate is revised down to 4.3 million 60/kilogram bags, due to weather and the initial impacts of rust, which are expected to be more severe next year. MY 2012/13 and MY 2013/14 imports are raised due to lower production and a slow but steadily increasing domestic demand. Exports for MY 2013/14 are expected to be lower due to rust-related declines in production.
