American Coffee Harvest Plunges
WASHINGTON - Dec 10/09 - SNS -- This year's coffee crop in the United States is down sharply from 2008, according to the USDA.
Hawaii coffee production is estimated at 8.00 million pounds (parchment basis) for the 2009-10 season, down 8% from the previous year. Dry weather in Kona along with insect damage and volcanic smoke on the Big Island contributed to the decrease in production.
Puerto Rico coffee production for the 2009-10 season is estimated at 9.50 million pounds (parchment basis), down 29% from the previous season. Heavy rain during the flowering stage, insect damage, and a labor shortage negatively impacted coffee production.
