Honduras: Coffee rust will cause the loss of more than 1.5 million bags

23/01/2013

The president of the Association of Coffee Exporters of Honduras (Adecafeh), Omar Acosta, estimates that the coffee rust will cause the loss of more than 1.5 million bags of coffee in the country. The loss should range between 25% and 30% of the total harvest (5.6 million bags) and cause a reduction in foreign exchange of about $ 600 million.
The damage caused by rust affects producers, exporters and Honduran economy in general, because coffee is one of the engines that drive the economy of that country. In 2011/12 harvest revenue from exports reached U.S. $ 1,440 million.

Consumption of Robusta must follow in high

Being cheaper, roasting industries started using more species in place of Arabica with noblest beans and expensive and highest market value. For companies and consultancies, the outlook is that the trend of substitution of Arabic for Robusta in roasted and ground blends should continue in 2013.
