Coffee exports from Central America, Mexico, Colombia, Peru and the Dominican Republic jumped nearly 40 percent year-on-year in December to 2.48 million 60-kg bags, Guatemalan growers' group Anacafe said.

In the same month last year, exports from the group of nine washed arabica producers were 1.77 million bags. Cumulative exports for the 2010/11 coffee year were up 22.5 percent from the same period in the previous cycle.
