Nicaragua: Coffee Annual
Link to report:
FAS Managua forecasts a strong coffee harvest of 2.58 million 60-kilogram bags for MY 2025/26. This optimistic outlook is attributed to increased agriculture input applications (mainly fertilizers) due to high coffee prices and expectations for a more balanced rainy season. In MY 2024/25, Nicaraguan coffee production recovered to more typical historic averages after an El Niño-induced reduction in MY 2023/24. Ongoing challenges for the sector include limited access to long-term credit, a tight labor force, and export delays resulting from logistical constraints in Central America.
