Guatemala: Coffee Annual
Link to report:
Guatemala’s coffee production areas remain stable, with gradual increases in output as ongoing renovation efforts begin to show results. Full production is anticipated within the next two years, as recently planted trees complete their fruiting cycle. Roughly 30 percent of cultivated Arabica hybrids are rust-tolerant and have proven capable of producing high-quality coffee, as evidenced by the 83 percent of exports classified as strictly hard beans. The United States continues to be Guatemala’s leading export market, while soluble coffee, largely imported, represents 60 percent of domestic consumption.
