“The development figure is a little bit misleading as it is on a very low foundation, because final year was terrible. Even then by notional expectations, it is a very good development,” stated Ramesh Rajah, President, Coffee Exporters Association. “There’s some enhanced demand but the rates are very low and the freight prices have shot up, ensuing in reduced realisations for the farmers,” Rajah stated.

European market place

The freight prices to Europe, the most important market place for Indian coffees, are up by above 300 for each cent, he added. Last year, the spread of Covid and the lockdowns in Europe had hit the Indian espresso shipments.

For calendar 2021, the exporters were being targetting a ten for each cent development above final year’s three.06 lakh tonnes. “We will arrive at final year’s figures, but a development of ten for each cent is not likely to be accomplished as there could be a slowdown future quarter as there’s not much espresso is remaining and significant freight could discourage shipments. The to start with quarter future year should be very good,” Rajah stated.
