Central American coffee loses premium

Prices of “other mild” arabica coffee extended their discount to Colombian mild beans to the highest in years, despite worries over a fresh disease outbreak in Honduras.

The price of other mild beans - grown mainly in the likes of Guatemala, Mexico and Honduras, but also in southern Africa and some Caribbean islands – extended their recent decline to hit 144.80 cents a pound on Wednesday, according to the International Coffee Organization.
