Costa Rica
Forecasts
Increase In
Coffee Harvest
Costa Rica
slightly
increased its
estimate for the
2010/11 coffee
harvest on
Monday citing
favourable
weather and
improved
fertilization,
the national
coffee
institute, Icafé,
said.
Icafé -
Instituto del
Café de Costa
Rica - said the
country would
produce 1.66
million 60-kg
bags of coffee
in the season
which begins in
October, around
a 12 percent
increase
year-on-year and
up from an
earlier
forecast.
Since the
beginning of the
XVIII century
coffee has been
a keystone for
Costa Rican
society.
According to
Icafé, coffee
inspired
ancestors and
has been a
driving force of
Costa Rica's
economic
development.
