(Bloomberg)
-
Nicaraguan
coffee
output
will
likely
rise 63
percent
in the
crop
year
ending
next
month,
more
than
previously
expected,
after
rains in
the
flowering
period
boosted
yields,
a
growers
group
said.
Production
in the
current
crop
year
will
probably
jump to
2.28
million
46-kilogram
(101-pound)
bags,
said
Luis
Osorio,
technical
secretary
of
Conacafe,
the
nation’s
biggest
coffee-
growers
group.
Conacafe
last
year
forecast
output
of 1.8
million
bags for
the
current
crop, up
from 1.4
million
bags in
the
previous
season,
Osorio
said.
The
Central
American
country
is the
world’s
12th
largest
coffee
producer,
according
to the
International
Coffee
Organization.
