In brief: Coffee production rises in Colombia, but exports fall
* Colombia’s national coffee federation (FNC) has reported that coffee production in May totalled 1.2m sacks (one sack = 60kg), a 6% increase on the 1.1m produced in the same month in 2019. CNC general manager, Roberto Vélez, noted with optimism that coffee production has remained steady throughout the coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic, attributing this to the authorities’ willingness to allow production to continue as long as health protocols were put in place. However, coffee exports did not escape the negative impact of the pandemic, falling 38% year-on-year in May, from 1.03m to 0.64m sacks.
