Weak monsoon set to dent India’s 2026-27 coffee prospects
The weak onset of the southwest monsoon in India's key coffee-growing regions of Kodagu, Chikmagaluru, Hassan, and Wayanad has raised concerns over the 2026-27 coffee crop. Cumulative rainfall deficits range from 29% to 45% in June 1-17, hurting berry development and increasing pest infestations. The USDA projects a 4% drop in output to 6.14 million bags, while the Coffee Board is yet to release its estimates.
