U.S. Grape Production RecoversWASHINGTON - Aug 10/07 - SNS -- Coffee output in the two primary producing regions of the United States -- Hawaii and Puerto Rico -- is down from last year, according to the USDA's latest crop production estimates. Hawaii coffee production is estimated at 7.40 million pounds (parchment basis) for the 2006-07 season, down 10% from the previous season. 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 4.00 million pounds (parchment basis) while production from the islands of Kauai, Maui, Molokai, and Oahu is forecast at 3.40 million pounds (parchment basis). Reduced production from Kona, the primary growing area on the island of Hawaii, contributed to this season's lower production. This reduction is attributed to the alternate bearing nature of coffee and heavy pruning following last year's bumper crop. Subscribers can read the full text of the article by Clicking here
