Larger U.S. Coffee Harvest
WASHINGTON - Aug 11/06 - SNS -- Hawaii coffee production is estimated at 8.20 million pounds (parchment basis) for the 2005-06 season, up 28% from the preliminary forecast and 46% above the previous season, according to the USDA's latest crop production estimates.
Coffee production for the 2005-06 season from the island of Hawaii is forecast at 5.80 million pounds (parchment basis) while production from the islands of Kauai, Maui, Molokai, and Oahu is forecast at 2.40 million pounds (parchment basis). Spring rains, which trigger flowering, arrived late in some areas. This extended the bloom season which consequently extended the harvest period.
Puerto Rico's production for the 2005-06 season is estimated at 20.3 million pounds (parchment basis), unchanged from the preliminary forecast but up 10% from the previous season. Cool weather in February and March delayed and condensed bloom to one small early bloom and one large second bloom instead of the normal three or four blooming periods. This caused the crop to mature at one time, stressing an already limited labor supply.
