Smaller U.S. Coffee Crop
WASHINGTON - Dec 11/06 - SNS -- Coffee production in Hawaii was estimated at 7.30 million pounds (parchment basis) for the 2006-07 season, down 11% from the previous season, in the latest USDA crop production report.
Harvested area is estimated at 6,300 acres, up 3% from the 2005-06 season. Coffee production for the 2006-07 season from the island of Hawaii is forecast at 3.50 million pounds (parchment basis) while production from the islands of Kauai, Maui, Molokai, and Oahu is forecast at 3.80 million pounds (parchment basis).
Reduced production from Kona, the primary growing area on the island of Hawaii, accounts for the lower State production. This reduction is attributed to the alternate bearing nature of coffee and heavy pruning following last year's bumper crop.
Puerto Rico's production for the 2006-07 season is estimated at 19.8 million pounds (parchment basis), down 2% from the previous season. Growing conditions were generally favorable this year. Rainfall encouraged early bloom periods which resulted in this year's crop being harvested earlier than normal.
