The drop to a large part reflected the decline in currencies in major producers Brazil and Colombia, cutting the value in dollar terms of a commodity in which they represent a large chunk of world supplies.

However, better weather in Brazil's main Arabica-growing state, after a dryness-plagued 2014, and the continued recovery in Colombian output after a replanting program early in the decade also played a role.

But the biggest demand driver going forward is from emerging markets such as Algeria, Australia, Russia, South Korea, Turkey and the Ukraine. On a numerical basis, coffee demand has potential to jump to 175.8mm bags by 2020 from 141.6mm bags in 2014. (Note: A bag weighs in at 132 pounds)

This is another El Niño year and the last time this weather pattern visited South America it substantially reduced coffee production in Brazil and Colombia.

That has not yet happened this year but a combination of lower production and higher demand would be a recipe for higher prices in 2016.

The USDA says that estimates of Brazilian coffee production have been revised downward which would reduce supply but selling of stocks from previous years may balance out the effect on prices.

Brazil’s coffee production for MY 2015/16 was revised down to 49.4 million 60-kg bags, a nine percent drop relative to a revised number for the previous season, due to below average yields and smaller size of the beans in some growing areas.
![Page 22: How Long Will Cheap Coffee Last](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042706/588942571a28abde5a8b4b09/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

Coffee exports in MY 2015/16 reached historic levels at 36.57 million bags, indicating that the 2014 harvest was not severely affected by the drought in Minas Gerais and São Paulo. Carry-over stocks from crops prior to 2014 also supported the steady flow of exports. Carry-over stocks for MY 2015/16 are projected down at 5.2 million bags.
