Light at end of the tunnel on coffee prices

Friday 15 February, 2019


The coffee authorities of Honduras, the leading Central American exporter, are forecasting the biggest increase in international prices for several years.

The Honduras Coffee Institute says that the increase is due to a fall in production in Colombia and Brazil.

Specialists consulted by the Efe news agency agree. They says that arabica coffee -- the type usually produced in Central America -- could rise by 25 percent by the end of the year.
