Costa Rica: Coffee Annual

FAS/San José projects marketing year 2026/2027 coffee production to increase 3.5 percent to 1,200,000 60-kilogram bags as several factors are expected to counter the positive effects of the biennial coffee production cycle. A strong local currency relative to the U.S. dollar resulting in lower income for farmers, higher fertilizer prices, and the expected occurrence of the "El Niño" weather phenomenon will present challenges to next year's production.
