El Salvador: Coffee Annual
Link to report:
El Salvador’s coffee production is expected to reach 561,000 sixty-kilogram-bags in marketing year (MY) 2024/25. The sector continues to face challenges from climate vulnerability and the absence of a long-term strategy. Production for MY 2025/26 is forecast to increase slightly to 597,000 sixty-kilogram-bags. Labor shortages, driven by migration from rural areas to urban centers, are limiting essential farm activities such as pruning, tree renovation, and coffee harvesting and processing. Additionally, high input costs continue to raise production expenses. The Government of El Salvador maintains a coffee plant distribution program, but many farmers are unable to plant the seedlings due to a lack of financial resources for necessary upkeep.
