Colombia aims for 8.8 percent rise in coffee crop
Tuesday, September 11, 2012

Colombia, the second-largest supplier of arabica coffee beans, said production will rise at least 8.8 percent this year as drier weather aids the crop.
The nation will harvest 8.5 million bags or more of the beans, compared with 7.8 million bags last year, Colombia’s National Federation of Coffee Growers said.
Colombia is anticipating a recovery in production after an end to above-average rainfall that drove the 2011 harvest to a 35-year low.
