Costa Rica sees coffee harvest declining

 

Costa Rica's 2014-2015 coffee harvest is expected to grow 4.5 percent compared with the previous harvest, the country's coffee authority, Icafé, said.

The main reason for the revised forecast was a drought that has affected the country's northern and central regions.
