Coffee Board sees cuppa as full as last fiscal

The Board's latest estimate indicates that coming coffee crop of 2007-08 could be on par with previous crop.

BANGALORE: The Coffee Board's latest post-blossom estimate indicates that India's coming coffee crop of 2007-08 could be on par with the previous crop of 2006-07. Arrivals of Arabica beans start in November-December. Robusta arrivals peak in February-March. However, if the heavy ongoing monsoon rains in the main coffee- growing state of Karnataka continue, the 2007-08 crop could be down by around 2,000 tonne. That position will be indicated in the post-monsoon survey, whose results are out in October-November.

As of now, India's 2007-08 crop is projected at 291,000 tonne, up 1.04% from the post-monsoon estimate for the previous crop of 288,000 tonne for 2006-07. India's Arabica crop is projected at 100,750 tonne (up 1.05% from the 2006-07 level of 99,700 tonne).

Karnataka's Robusta crop is projected at 130,250 tonne (up 3.56% from the level of 125,775 tonne).
