The worlds' coffee crop report is outstanding - world
production will far exceed expected and or forecasted
projections for gourmet coffee this winter. Supply will be
huge and alot of it is due to the wonderful gourmet coffee
production coming from Africa.
This year's coffee report calls for major production
improvement and output record levels for African coffee
producing countries. The African output will so far exceed
expected output that it will also cause the world's
production to exceed expectant levels. Still will the
excess coffee the wholesale prices continue to increase.
However as demand is not able to keep up with supply look
for prices to plummet.
Also the quality of the African coffee is far less that its
South American counterparts. Many consider Costa Rica,
Brazil and Columbia to have the finest coffee in the world.
The Africa coffee is not even close in terms of quantity or
quality and much of the African coffee is a robusta bean.
The Latin America coffee countries only produce Arabica
bean which is a far superior bean. The African coffees are
also lacking in the production of certified organic coffee.
World coffee production in the current season will be
greater than previously expected and will set a record, the
Agriculture Department said today. In its weekly report on
world agriculture, the FDA department put the global coffee
crop at over 96 million bags, up 1.3 million from the
previous forecast and over ten percent or approximately
over 12 million bags above last year's crop.
Improved prospects in Kenya, Nigeria and South Africa, the
leading coffee-growing countries was the main factor in the
higher estimate, the report said. Despite large world
coffee supplies, several major retailers have raised prices
in recent months because of actions taken under the
International Coffee Agreement to prop up prices. Kenya and
Nigeria commented that short term agriculture programs were
finally taking effect and helping with production. Other
cited factors included improved water, water supply and
consistent water along with improved farming techniques and
farming co-ops. The farming co-ops allowed farmers to share
resources and best practices which allowed much improvement
in production levels.
So this winter by December you should start seeing some of
this wonderful gourmet coffee crop in your local store. The
quantity will be huge and the taste and quality will be
excellent for this winters gourmet coffee. And with such a
huge supply the price should go down also. So toast that
cheap but wonderful cup of gourmet coffee.
