Coffee output seen lower than last year

Even as the coffee-picking season is barely two weeks away, planters do not share the Coffee Board’s expectation of a record production this year.The Coffee Board has estimated a total of 325,300 tonnes for the current year, a growth of about 3.5 per cent over the last year. This includes 104,000 tonnes of arabica and 221,300 tonnes of robusta. However, Karnataka Planters’ Association (KPA) has pegged arabica output at 85,000 tonnes to 90,000 tonnes and robusta at 210,000 tonnes.
